F-OJTN

Built by Airbus under manufacturer serial number (MSN) 395, this widebody quadjet completed its maiden test flight under registration F-WWJF on June 25, 2001. Powered by four CFM International CFM56-5C4 turbofans, it was initially ordered by Belgian flag carrier Sabena under the allocated registration OO-SBQ. However, Sabena's financial collapse and subsequent liquidation in late 2001 prevented it from ever taking delivery. The aircraft was instead delivered on lease to Canadian charter carrier Canada 3000 on September 19, 2001, registered as C-GZIA. Its stay in Canada proved exceptionally brief, as Canada 3000 ceased flight operations in November of that same year following the post-9/11 downturn.

On January 18, 2002, the airframe was leased to French Polynesia's flag carrier, Air Tahiti Nui, taking on the distinctive registration F-OJTN and the christened name 'Bora Bora'. Outfitted in a premium three-class arrangement (featuring six first class, 24 business, and 264 economy seats), F-OJTN quickly became a prominent fixture of the Polynesian airline's long-haul network. Wearing the vibrant turquoise-and-blue ocean livery adorned with the iconic white Tiare flower on its empennage, the aircraft connected Tahiti's Faa'a International Airport in Papeete to far-flung destinations across the Pacific Rim and Europe, including Los Angeles, Tokyo, and Paris.

After 16 years of faithful service, logging an impressive 65,084 flight hours carrying travelers across the globe, F-OJTN was permanently withdrawn from commercial service in late 2018. Its retirement marked the beginning of Air Tahiti Nui's fleet modernization program transitioning from four-engine Airbus A340s to twin-engine Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The aircraft was ferried to the United States for preservation and storage, where it was subsequently broken up and scrapped in 2021. To commemorate the carrier's 25th anniversary, portions of its aluminum fuselage skin were salvaged and upcycled by Aviationtag into collectible memorabilia.
