When the airline ceased operations in 1982, the aircraft went to British Caledonian as G-BJZD, then British Caledonian Charter, BCA Charter, Cal Air and Novair. Sold back to the USA in 1995 as N581LF, the aircraft was then converted to a MD-10-10(F) freighter for Federal Express and re-registered N10060.
