Watch as we join the last Scandinavian Airbus A340 on its final journey.

Sitting quitly on the tarmac, with her cabin nicely prepared for passengers, 'Astrid Viking' was ready, as if this was just another flight. Lately, her siblings had all vanished from the airport, as she was now the last of her kind. The following morning, she took one last flight. This time just three pilots on board.

'Astrid Viking' aka OY-KBM departed Copenhagen Airport for Tuscon to go through US customs. She then continued on a short flight to the airplane graveyard at Pinal Airpark in Marana where she joined her siblings.

The Airbus A340 was the wide-body flagship in the Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) fleet from 2001 to 2020. The withdrawal of the A340's was set for 2021, but as the coronavirus took its toll on world travel, these birds were retired in 2020. They are now replaced by the new Airbus A350-900.

With special thanks to SAS and the three pilots flying the last flight.

Watch with headphones for the best experience!
