Rare Airbus A310 to Schiphol due to state visit of the Spanish king

The Airbus A310 once flew for many major airlines, including KLM and Martinair. Even Transavia once had one on loan. There are currently few of this type in service as passenger aircraft: some air forces are still active with it.

Air Transat (Canada) and Tarom (Romania) still flew the A310 to Schiphol until 2018, but have said goodbye to the type. Only the Turkish ULS Cargo still flies it regularly on Turkish Airlines freight flights between Istanbul and Amsterdam.

It state visit of the Spanish royal couple officially starts on Wednesday and lasts until Thursday evening. A Dassault Falcon 900 and the aforementioned Airbus A310 of the Spanish Air Force are expected at Schiphol on Wednesday afternoon and evening respectively.

Fighter planes from Volkel air base escort Felipe and Letizia. That is why the base is open a little longer, until 7 p.m. The intention is for the Falcon to be parked at Schiphol-Oost, while the A310 has been allocated the P platform between the Zwanenburgbaan and the A4 highway.
