Airbus A320-200 (A320-214) in Toulouse / Hamburg / Tianjin / Mobile. Operated for Iberworld, Aigle Azur and TUI Airlines Nederland. Scrapped in 2022.

Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.

What happened
The COVID-19 pandemic brought much of world aviation to a halt in 2020: as demand collapsed, thousands of aircraft sat parked for weeks or months. The extent and the dates varied a great deal from country to country and from airline to airline.
