Corendon Places Boeing 747 In Its Hotel Garden

Mega Transport Brings Airplane In Five Days From Schiphol To Amsterdam

Travel agency, airline company and hotelier Corendon will have a complete Boeing 747-400 transported from Schiphol airport to the Corendon Village Hotel in Amsterdam this February, where the plane will be placed in the hotel garden.

For this mega job, Dutch specialized transport company Mammoet will transport the 150-ton plane in five days from the airport to the hotel, starting Tuesday evening February 5th. During its notable final journey, the Boeing has to cross 17 ditches, highway A9 and one provincial road.

The trip will begin Tuesday, February 5 when the aircraft will roll on a self-propelled trailer crossing Schiphol Airport. It will leave the airport site via the Zwanenburgbaan and will be transported over the meadows towards the Sloterweg, where the 747 will stay for two days.

On Friday at midnight, the airplane will cross the A9 highway. Then the 747 will cross the Schipholweg during the night of Saturday 9th to Sunday February 10th and make 57 traffic movements before it takes its place in the garden of the Corendon Village Hotel.

The Boeing 747 is the former KLM aircraft 'City of Bangkok' that will be given a new final destination after 30 years of reliable service. In recent weeks it has been painted in the colours of Corendon in Rome after being stripped of all serviceable parts, such as the engines, by aircraft recycling company AELS.

After the transport the plane will be placed in the garden of the Corendon Village Hotel Amsterdam. The aircraft will be converted into the Corendon Boeing 747 Experience, which will open its doors at later this year.

The hotel opened last year in the former headquarters of Sony. With over 680 rooms, suites and apartments it is the largest hotel in the Benelux. Guests have a clear view of Schiphol Airport.
