Originally ordered by TAT Transport Aerien Transregional (previously Touraine Air Transport) as F-GKNF. The order was cancelled before completion.
The aircraft was first flown as F-WWLP in Oct-92 and was stored at Toulouse until it was delivered to the GPA Group Ltd and leased to CityFlyer Express as G-BVEF in Mar-94. It was operated on behalf of British Airways Express.
It was returned to the lessor in Mar-01 and stored at Exeter UK. The aircraft was leased to Coast Air (Norway) in Feb-02 and re-registered LN-FAI in Nov-02. It returned to Nordic Aviation Capital A/S in Mar-04 and was immediately leased to Air Wales as G-CDFF.
Air Wales ceased operations in Apr-06 and the aircraft was returned to the lessor and stored at Guernsey, Channel Islands, UK. In Nov-06 it was leased to Aurigny Air Services and operated in association with Flightline.
It was briefly sub-leased to EuroManx in Sep-07. It was returned to operation by Aurigny from May-08 and was wet-leased to Aer Arann between May/Jul-08. It was returned to Nordic Aviation Capital in Sep-08 and stored at Billund (Denmark).
The aircraft was sold to First Air (Bradley Air Services) as C-GKLB in Feb-09. First Air consolidated their services with Canadian North in Nov-19. The aircraft was removed from service in Jan-21 and stored at Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada.
Canadian North took over the operation of the aircraft in May-21 and it returned to service in Jul-21. It's now 32 years old and continues in service. Updated 30-May-24.
