Anyone lost their Boeing 747? A Malaysian airport is trying to trace the owner
Possibly the most unusual lost property to be left at Kuala Lumpur's airport.
You know sometimes you park your car and struggle to find it again? It looks like an owner of not one, or two, but three Boeing 747s has done the same. As you do...
Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) has placed an advert in two Malaysian newspapers, The Star and the Chinese language Sin Chew Daily asking for the owner of the double decker aircraft to come forward.
The notice which appeared in the Classified section of the newspaper said. “If you fail to collect the aircraft within 14 days of the date of this notice, we reserve the right to sell or otherwise dispose of the aircraft.”
Zainol Mohd Isa, the contact listed on the advert, told Bloomberg news agency that the planes have been left on the tarmac at Kuala Lumpur International Airport for over a year and they had not heard from the owner regarding the removal of the planes.
Zainol went on to say, "We want to clear the area, we want to utilise our parking bay."

Although there has been a lot of speculation from aviation enthusiasts as to who actually owns the planes no one has been confirmed as the owners yet.
In a statement the airport said, "the giving of such notice by way of advertisement is a common and reasonable step in the process of debt recovery especially in cases where the company concerned has ceased operations and is a foreign entity whereby exhaustive steps undertaken to find a contact person have not been successful."
The search for the owner continues.
