7P-LAJ F27-600
Definitely the most exotic airliner on which I have flown, this F27 is seen at its home base of Maseru after arrival from Johannesburg. Lesotho Airways was the national airline of Lesotho. It was wholly owned by the country's government and operated both international and domestic passenger services to 16 destinations across 4 countries. Its main base was the Moshoeshoe International Airport. On 1 October 1996, Lesotho Airways had to suspend its international flights due to inability to satisfy the minimum requirements specified by the Department of Civil Aviation. In 1997 Rossair Contracts Private Ltd acquired the assets of Lesotho Airways but operations did not resume.
7P-LAJ was later registered as ZS-EDY and then sold in 1998 as ST-SSD with Sudan Airways. Damaged beyond repair at Khartoum 11 June 2002.
