N557MS performs test flight from Dublin

Former Sama Airlines Boeing 737-36MN HZ-NMA was transferred to the US register following handback to aircraft leasing company GECAS following the collapse of the Saudi carrier. Arriving in Dublin in Sama colours the aircraft, msn 28563 and now registered N557Ms was subsequently “white tailed” at Eirtech Aviation. Last week the aircraft performed test flights on January 13 and 14 using registration as call sign but still showing the Saudi hexcode 7101FE of its previous identity.
