The 'lucky' 737; 3C-LLY aka ET-AWR

Ceiba appear to have operated two, possibly three, Boeing 737s. AFAIK their registrations were originally 3C-LLW, 3C-LLY, and CS-FAF on the Portuguese register. The first oddity is that 'LLY was delivered six months ahead of 'LLW, but maybe there is a perfectly logical explanation for this, and the fact that with almost sequential MSNs, these aircraft should have come off the Boeing production line within hours of each other. Around 2019, the first two were re-registered in Ethiopia as ET-AWR and ET-AWS, but leased back to Ceiba. However - these aircraft are exceedingly camera-shy, and almost no record of their operation exists. In fact, one of them appears to have been parked up for four years, another for three years, and the third since another incident in August 2024. Furthermore, the Hex code assigned to 3C-LLY(aka ET-AWR) has been re-assigned to an Embraer ERJ-145, also on the Ethiopian register (as ET-AVV), and allegedly flying on the other side of Africa, for Air Djibouti. Confirming this has proved difficult because this aircraft is also very camera-shy. All-in-all there is a strong whiff of bovine effluent about the whole operation.

Some alleged 'facts'

  1. On 5 September 2015, Boeing 737-800, 3C-LLY, operating CEL071, was involved in a head-on collision at 35,000 feet with a HS125 air ambulance. The HS125 apparently flew on for almost an hour, with nobody at the controls, or if they were, they were unable to do anything except slowly fall into the Atlantic Ocean. The Ceiba 737 returned to Malambo with minor damage. See 2015 Senegal mid-air collision.
  2. On 29 August 2024, Boeing 737-800, ET-AWR, allegedly the same aircraft as above, operating CEL205, overran the runway at Malambo whilst landing in heavy rain. Although dramatic, once again it appears that everybody walked away from this event with nothing more than grass and mud on their shoes to show for it.

  • WP:OR I have moved mountains and tracked down some flight history, except these Ceiba flights are attributed to the aforementioned Ethiopian/Air Djibouti Embraer (ET-AVV). Or at least, the digital signature associated with that aircraft.
