Royal Flight leases a Rolls-Royce powered 767-300ER


Royal Flight (Russia) leased a Rolls-Royce powered Boeing 767-300ER (MSN 28149/627 VP-BRE) from Aersale (US), adding to two General Electric powered aircraft in it's fleet. This is the first time a (rare) Rolls-Royce powered 767 has operated for a Russian airline.

This example, model 767-3W0ER, was delivered new to China Yunnan Airlines as B-2569 September 11th 1996. The aircraft transferred to China Eastern Airlines when the airlines merged April 1st 2003. MIAT Mongolian Airlines leased the aircraft between May 2011 and May 2016 as JU-1011. The aircraft has been stored at Roswell, NM since then.

14 RR 767-300ERs remain in service, out of 31 delivered. China Yunnan received three, while the remainder were all delivered to British Airways (seven remain in service with BA).
