DHL Boeing 757 - D-ALEK

After the success of the joint DHL and Aviationtag D-ALEH Edition, we are pleased to be able to present the successor today: The Boeing 757-200F D-ALEK.

The Boeing 757-200 was delivered to British Airways in Renton / Washington in March 1986 as a pure passenger aircraft with MSN (Manufacturer Serial Number) 23533 and Line Number 93. The British flag carrier registered her as G-BIKY and gave her the baptismal name "Leeds Castle".

Along with other machines, the 757 was converted in 2003 in Mobile (Alabama) to a pure freighter, which was then to be used exclusively for DHL. In the course of this, it was re-registered to European Air Transport with the registration OO-DPN and finally to EAT Leipzig in 2010.

With its final registration D-ALEK, DHL shipments were flown around the world until 2018 before it was finally parked in Castellon / Spain on Christmas Eve 2018.

After the 50th anniversary of DHL brings Aviationtag another joint limited edition of the D-ALEK is now on the market. Not just a piece of aviation history, but also a part of DHL history - strike fast now!
