Malaysia Airports seeks owner of three Boeing 747s abandoned at KLIA

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), the country’s main airport operator, is seeking the owner of three unclaimed planes left at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

In a notice in The Star’s classifieds section on Monday, Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd, which manages KLIA, gave the unknown owner of three Boeing 747-200F aircraft 14 days to collect his planes.

“If you fail to collect the aircraft within 14 days of the date of this notice, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the aircraft,” the notice read, adding that the money raised would be used to offset any expenses and debts due.

The owner was being sought under the Civil Aviation Regulations 1996 and could be subjected to charges by Malaysia Airports (Sepang), presumably for storing the three planes at the international airport, although the notice does not specify how much.

Based on the list provided in the notice, the three Boeing 747-200F planes comprised an off-white aircraft with the registration number TF-ARM, a white one with the registration number TF-ARN, and another white one with the registration number TF-ARH.

The owner was told to contact Malaysia Airports (Sepang) general manager Zainol Mohd Isa at 03 87766100.

Zainol could not be reached for comment.
