webfact Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Seized Airbus up for auction with minimum bid of Bt30m By Piyanuch Tamnukasetchai The Nation BANGKOK: -- The Legal Execution Department plans to auction a 270-seat Airbus plane on September 6 with a starting price of Bt30 million. Department chief Ruenwadee Suwanmongkol took media members to inspect the aircraft at Bangkok's Don Muang Airport on Thursday. He said it was the first commercial plane that the agency had put on auction. It was seized in a civil lawsuit filed by law firm Watson Farley and Williams Co Ltd (Thailand) against Asia Connect Airline Co Ltd and executive Sakkarat Chanthraporn. The aircraft's last trip was from South Korea's Incheon International Airport to Don Muang on January 13, 2016, after which it was impounded, she said. The successful bidder will also have to pay the Bt17,000 per day aircraft-parking fee, which will accumulate to Bt4 million by September 6.

Aluminum corrodes but it does not rust. Rust refers only to iron and steel corrosion.Aluminum is actually very prone to corrosion. However, aluminum corrosion is aluminum oxide, a very hard material that actually protects the aluminum from further corrosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the science lesson, my point was that aluminium doesn't rust after a poster mentioned rust stains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Swagman Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 A bright type, able to 'obtain' maintenance and parts records would do well to bid and part it out. Depending on hours the engines alone would more than cover the bid and work required to scrap it. Remember the TG Airbus destroyed by one of their MD11's taxiing (well sort it of taxiing) into it? Sold by the then head of TG for $1USD to a post box in Switzerland. Engines were defined in the tender, however were not the ones on the aircraft at the time, but two freshly overhauled ones. Baaaaaaargain I thought. Transparent process of course.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
