QBE has been thanked for its role in bringing a private plane owned by John Travolta to an Australian Museum.
Travolta will donate his Boeing 707 aircraft to the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS), based at the Illawarra Regional Airport in Albion Park, once it has been fully restored.
As a qualified pilot and Qantas ambassador, Travolta hopes to be part of the crew that will bring the historic aircraft to Australia, The Illawarra Mercury reports.
“The aircraft currently requires a lot of work to be restored to a safe flying state and having seen first-hand the dedication and passion of people at HARS, I have no doubt this beautiful and historical aircraft will be flying again,” Travolta said in a statement.
“Thanks must also go to QBE Insurance (Australia) Limited Services for their significant support as well.”
An engineering team from the museum will now head to the United States to help prepare the plane for its trans-Pacific flight.
