Several high profile aircraft type retirements have taken place recently such
as the British Airways Boeing 767 late last year. However, we believe this
Lufthansa Airbus A320 deserves a big pat on the tail as it enters retirement
today. The aircraft has been in service flying from airports in Germany for
almost 30 years.
最近有著許多令人關注的航空器退役,例如英國航空的波音 767 在去年年底退役。不過,
我們相信這架今天退役的漢莎航空空中巴士 A320 值得一直被當成傳奇。該航空器已經在
德國飛行將近三十個年頭。
Lufthansa is a huge Airbus A320 operator. Indeed, the German flag carrier
last week revealed its new A321neo cabin to the world. However, this
particular Airbus A320 was Lufthansa’s first aircraft of the type. In fact,
out of almost 9,000 A320s manufactured to date, this was the 69th.
漢莎航空是個規模龐大的空中巴士 A320 使用者。事實上,該德國載旗航空公司上星期才
向全世界公開了它全新的 A321neo 客艙。然而,這架特別的空中巴士 A320 是漢莎航空
首架該型航空器。確切地說,在目前為止製造的九千架 A320 中,這是第六十九架。
30 years old
三十個年頭
Lufthansa’s first Airbus A320 is almost 30 years old. That’s pretty old for
an aircraft. Indeed, when the aircraft first joined the airline’s fleet the
Berlin Wall still stood. In fact, East and West Germany were still split
until a year after the aircraft was delivered.
漢莎航空的第一架空中巴士 A320 已經將近三十歲了。那對一架航空器來說非常老。事實
上,當那架航空器加入機隊時,柏林圍牆仍舊聳立,而東德和西德在該航空器交付後一年
仍舊分離。
While some aircraft hop between different operators, this was not the case
with D-AIPA. Indeed, Lufthansa’s oldest Airbus A320 has only ever belonged
to Lufthansa. The aircraft is one of 111 Airbus A320ceos operated to date by
Lufthansa according to Airfleets.net. There are very few older A320s still in
operation.
雖然一些航空器在不同的使用人間轉換,但 D-AIPA 並非如此。確切地說,漢莎航空最舊
的空中巴士 A320 一直屬於漢莎航空。根據 Airfleets.net,該航空器是目前漢莎航空所
使用中的一百一十一架 A320ceo 之一。仍然有少數舊款 A320 在營運中。
An era has come to an end: Our very first #A320 landed today for the last
time @Airport_FRA. Since 1989 D-AIPA has been flying all over Europe. CEO
#CarstenSpohr thanked the crew and colleagues of @LHTechnik for their great
commitment. So long, Papa Alpha!
The aircraft, D-AIPA, was delivered to Lufthansa by Airbus on 16 of October
1989. It is powered by two CFM International CFM56 engines provided by
General Electric who just finished testing their new Boeing 777X engine. The
aircraft is named Buxtehude. Germany has a town called Buxtehude in the
north, and also a famous organist who shares the name.
D-AIPA 在一九八九年十月十六日由空中巴士交付給漢莎航空。它由最近剛完全波音 777X
發動機測試的奇異提供的兩具 CFM56 發動機提供動力。該航空器被命名為 Buxtehude。
德國有一個北部城鎮被叫作 Buxtehude,一位知名風琴手也叫這個名字。
The last flight
最後一次飛行
The last flight of D-AIPA saw the aircraft flying from Brussels to Frankfurt.
The occasion was deemed so special that the CEO of Lufthansa met the aircraft
at the arrival gate. LH1005 was due to depart from Brussels at 0905CET,
however, it departed 12 minutes late at 0917. The flight time was only 35
minutes today. As a result, the aircraft landed at 0953CET, 12 minutes
earlier than its stated arrival time of 1005.
D-AIPA 的最後一次飛行是從布魯塞爾到法蘭克福。這是一個非常特別的時刻,漢莎航空的
執行長在抵達的登機門迎接該航空器。LH1005 原定在歐洲中部時間早上九點零五分自布魯
塞爾起飛,然而,它延遲了十二分鐘到九點十七分。今天的飛行時間只有三十五分鐘。最
後,該航空器在歐洲中部時間早上九點五十三分降落,比預定的十點零五分要早了十二分
鐘。
What’s next for Lufthansa?
漢莎航空的下一步
Lufthansa is still continuing to receive Airbus A320 aircraft. However, as
opposed to the original Airbus A320ceos that were being delivered, the
carrier is currently receiving the newer Airbus A320neo. The neo stands for
new engine option, and as such, the aircraft is equipped with newer, more
fuel-efficient engines from Rolls Royce.
漢莎航空仍在接收空中巴士 A320。不過,與之前被交付的原版空中巴士 A320ceo 不同,
目前正在接收的是全新空中巴士 A320neo。Neo 代表著新發動機選項,就這點而論,該航
空器配有更新且更有燃油效率的勞斯萊斯發動機。
Lufthansa is still operating the old A320s, however. Indeed, the oldest
aircraft now in Lufthansa’s fleet is just four days younger than the
aircraft just retired. While Lufthansa retired the 69th Airbus A320 to be
built, they are still operating the 70th A320. The new oldest A320 is
registered as D-AIPB and is Named Heidelberg.
不過漢莎航空還是有營運舊的 A320。實際上,目前漢莎航空機隊中最老的航空器只比剛退
役的年輕四天。儘管漢莎航空使第六十九架空中巴士 A320 退役了,他們仍還使用第七十
架 A320,它被註冊為 D-AIPB 且被命名為 Heidelberg。
