This A340 was originally ordered by AOM French Airlines (F-GTUD assigned). AOM merged into Air Liberte to form Air Lib in Oct-01, before the aircraft's first flight in Dec-01. As Air Lib, the airline's plans changed and the order was cancelled. The aircraft was stored at Toulouse (TLS) for a year until it was sold to Air Tahiti Nui in Dec-02. It continues in service (Feb-13).
