Up Close: The Boeing 727 That's Called Nội Bài Airport Home for 18 Years
A Royal Khmer Relic at Nội Bài
Since May 1, 2007, a Boeing 727-200, registration number XU-RKJ, formerly of Royal Khmer Airlines, has been quietly resting at the edge of the apron at Nội Bài International Airport. This veteran aircraft currently resides in the grassy area at the eastern end of the airfield, preserved in its original state, enduring the weather and accumulating the dust of time.
Future Uncertain for the Abandoned Aircraft
Following careful consideration of various options, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has submitted a report to the Ministry of Construction regarding the handling of this B727-200, abandoned at Nội Bài Airport since 2007.
