China Southern Airlines' B-5155

China Southern Airlines is ferrying B-5155 (c/n 30783, l/n 804) from CAN [Guangzhou, China] to SBD [San Bernardino, CA], via Guam and Honolulu, as this 737-8K5 will be parted and scrapped.

30783 was originally delivered in March 2001 to Hapag-Lloyd [HF/HLF] (Germany) as D-AHLH. After the the airline became part of the TUI Group in 2003, it was re-branded as Hapagfly, and D-AHLH was transferred. In April 2006, Tombo Aviation acquired 30783, and leased it to China Southern Airlines as B-5155, three months later. In November 2017, B-5155 was withdrawn from service, and stored at CAN.
