In 1995 , Kuwait Airways sold the airframe to Birgenair , which subsequently leased the airframe to Alas Nacionales and LAN Airlines . Following the collapse of Birgenair shortly after the crash of Birgenair Flight 301 , Air Gabon acquired the airframe for two years until its acquisition by First Security Corporation ( now part of Wells Fargo ) in 1999 . The plane was then stored for the next five years out of service until United Arab Emirates-based Phoenix Aviation ( later AVE.com ) purchased the frame from Wells Fargo in 2004 , leasing it to Kam Air in early 2004
