The Convair Coronado jetliner that we offer as a film set belonged to the Spanish charter company Spantax, pioneer of tourist flights to Mallorca which was set up in 1959 and went bankrupt in 1988.

This airliner, registered EC-BZO was built in 1962 and was abandoned at the Air Base of Palma (belonging to the Spanish Air Force) in 1988, becoming public ownership since it was not sold by the liquidation commission of the company. It measures 42 meters in length and weighs about 50 tons. There are only other three Coronado jetliners Worldwide (one in Luzern, Switzerland and two in Mojave, California)

A group of fans of the Association Amics de Son Sant Joan have been working since 2009 to recover the plane and to be exhibited in a Museum. In 2011 we managed to get the Consell de Mallorca, through its General Directorate of Heritage, to declare it Well Cataloged, the only airplane in Spain that is protected by Law.

The altruistic works carried out by a group that does not have any economic aid except for small private contributions have managed to restore the passenger cabin, which has 149 well-upholstered seats with their corresponding safety belts, racks for suitcases, oxygen masks, etc. It also has two galleys (kitchens) and three bathrooms. You can comfortably access it because we have the collaboration of the Air Force that provides us with ladders to climb it.

Outwardly it is complete but somewhat deteriorated to take 31 years abandoned to the elements. If necessary, it can be provisionally vinyled to represent any company or service

The Association Amics de Son Sant Joan has the corresponding permits from the Consell de Mallorca and the Spanish Air Force to offer the plane as a filming location. It is ultimately the only real plane (not mock up) available in Spain to shoot movies, series, documentaries, advertisements, video clips, etc. etc.
