A Boeing 727-223(F) aircraft, registered TU-TAB and long abandoned at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), Katunayake, was lifted off its nose gear on Friday amid strong winds brought by the prevailing severe weather.
The aircraft, known as Lankan Cargo has remained inactive at BIA for many years. Airport sources said the intense gusts briefly raised the aircraft’s front section, though it remained in its parked position.
