Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 14-Sep-17, plus DeNoise AI 04-Dec-22. First flown with the Boeing test registration N6046P, this aircraft was delivered to ILFC International Lease Finance Corporation and leased to VARIG Airlines Brasil as PP-VOA in Apr-88. It was returned to the lessor as N830DS in Feb-00 and leased to Air Atlanta Icelandic as TF-ATH in Apr-00. It was wet-leased to El Al Israel Airlines for 5 weeks in Aug/Sep-00. In Dec-00 the aircraft was wet-leased to Iberia (Spain) for 2 years, returning to Air Atlanta Icelandic in Dec-02 when it was stored at Marana, AZ, USA. It was returned to the lessor in May-03 and immediately leased to Air Pullmantur as EC-IOO. The aircraft was permanently retired at Roswell, NM, USA in Dec-08. It was last noted still stored at Roswell in Apr-09. I also have a photo of this aircraft as TF-ATH with Air Atlanta Icelandic at ... www.flickr.com/photos/kenfielding/6582236281

This safety card is undated but certainly from the 80's era. VARIG had 14 Electras on it's fleet, the last one WFO in 1992. VARIG (wich stands for Viaçao Aerea Rio Grandense) filled for banckruptcy protection in 2005 and in 2006 had it's valuable assets sold off.

Worth waiting for, since it's the first time I've seen this airline at LAX. The flight, a 12-hour nonstop from Moscow Domodedovo (UUDD/DME) running on Thursdays and Sundays, was inaugurated on April 29th, 2012. Interestingly it's not the first time Transaero has flown to LAX; in the late 1990s they operated a service with three DC-10s leased from American Airlines. The 777 is a former United example, delivered as N208UA in November of 1999. Subsequently it passed to Varig as PP-VRF in December 2004. From 2007 it was returned to lessor and reverted to its previous United registration. After around two years of storage, during which it was considered by Royal Brunei Airlines as V8-RBV but not delivered, it arrived in Transaero in December 2009. Current configuration seats 306 in three classes.
