EHAM/AMS 30-10-11 Arrival of last MP Pax flight Ever......

Post by B767-300ER »

Today was the arrival of the last MP passenger flight ever.
After 53 years this beautifull airline will stop operating passengerflights.

I was on the Panoramadeck to take some pictures of the last arrival. Flight MP 0623 with origin Havana (Cuba) and Punta Cana (Dominican Republic) operated by Boeing 767-31AER PH-MCM "Prins Floris...."

1. Almost on-time ;)

Image


2. Lots of crew from MP, HV and MP were waiting outside at Delta 04.
Hr Schroder was standig at the end of the yellow line, unfortunately i heard that afterwards

Image


3. The Amsterdam Airport Schiphol Fire department was ready for the arrival.

Image


4. Supported by follow me cars it came in at the Delta platfrom around 20 minutes after landing at 18R

Image


5.

Image


6. Said to see dat even at this moment AF is in a hurry.....

Image


7. The firedepartment starts the saluut...

Image


8. And the plane became wet.....

Image


9. Just as the rest of the platform..

Image


10. Cockpitcrew of the Prins Floris

Image


11. Waving crew to all the people at the platform and the panoramadeck. There were lost of MP crew on the panaromadeck, but also inside at Delta 4 what I have heard.

Image


12. Said to see the empty Martinair desk at Departure 3.

Enjoy. It was not the best weather. 8)

Thanks for sharing, end of an era.
MP quitting PAX flights feels wrong somehow. Another bit of Dutch aviation hisdtory closed and we're not getting anything back for it. :(
