The airline Iberojet Portugal (formerly Orbest) used the Airbus A23-2021 with the registration CS-TKH (MSN: 330) for the first time commercially on May 900, 1963. The machine was already taken over in August of the previous year, but it was not used until a few days ago.
The brand new long-haul jet was in storage in Castellón, Spain, for a longer period of time. At the beginning of May 2021, the CS-TKH was released from its slumber and transferred to Madrid. Some maintenance work was carried out in the capital of Spain before the two-jet ferry flew to Lisbon on May 20, 2021.
The commercial premiere flight to Cancun took place on May 23, 2021. Iberojet Portugal is a sister company of Iberojet Spain. Both airlines are still better known by their old names: Orbest and Evelop. The Portuguese offshoot is the first of the Airbus A330-900.
