Airbus A320 that landed in the Hudson sold for scrap
AIG’s Chartis is selling for $2m the hull of the Airbus A320 that Captain Chesley 'Sully' Sullenberger landed in the Hudson river, the Times reports.
The Times said the seller was “Charteris Insurace”, but said it was a subsidiary of insurance giant AIG, clearly meaning Chartis.
The Times said the sale note described the hull as having: “Severe water damage throughout airframe. Impact damage to underside of aircraft.”
Metal Bulletin Monthly reported that a similarly junked Airbus A310 that sold for $2.6m, made its new owners $4m when it was broken for scrap.
