Airbus A310-300 ”Drago”
The Story Behind Drago
Drago is named after the iconic Dragon Tree (Dracaena draco), a legendary symbol of the Canary Islands that has stood for centuries as a sign of strength, endurance and quiet presence.
The Dragon Tree is not known for speed or spectacle.
It is known for resilience. For longevity. For standing firm through time.
These qualities align perfectly with the role of the Airbus A310-300 within the SunBird fleet.
The A310 represents a defining era in aviation history — one of the early twin-engine widebodies that reshaped medium and long-haul travel. Elegant, capable and engineered with intent, it bridges the gap between classic aviation heritage and modern operational efficiency.
Within SunBird, Drago serves our longer charter missions from Brussels, connecting Northern Europe with destinations shaped by sun, ocean and history.
Just as the Dragon Tree has watched over the Canary Islands for generations, the Airbus A310-300 “Drago” carries forward the spirit of timeless travel — steady, purposeful and enduring.
Not the newest aircraft in the sky.
But one with character.
And at SunBird, character matters.
Fly Relaxed. Fly SunBird.
