Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 20-Aug-16, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 16-Apr-23.
Aero Peru ceased operations in Mar-99.
With additional '25 years' Aero Peru titles.
An aircraft with a very long and slightly confusing history. Delivered to a lessor and leased to Caledonian Airways (not the original Caledonian which became B.Cal but the Caledonian which was previously British Airtours) as G-BUDX in May-92.
The aircraft was sub-leased to Ambassador Airways in May-93. At the end of Oct-93, Ambassador wet-leased it to Avianca Colombia for the winter season and it returned to Ambassador in Apr-94. At the end of Nov-94 Ambassador was in severe financial difficulties and it was impounded at Manchester, UK.
It was returned to the lessor in early Dec-94 and remained stored at Manchester. It was re-registered N592KA for just one day in May-95, becoming SE-DSK for lease to Sunways Airlines Sweden. It was repossessed by the lessor in Sep-97 and became N592KA again.
In Apr-98 it was leased to AeroMexico and immediately sub-leased to Aero Peru, returning to the lessor in Apr-99. It was re-registered N521NA in Jul-99 and leased to National Airlines. It was returned to the lessor in Nov-02 and was leased to Transmeridian Airlines the following month.
They wet-leased it to Aerolineas Santo Domingo from Jun/Oct-03 and then to Travelspan from Nov-03/Feb-04. Transmeridian ceased operations in Sep-05 and the aircraft returned to the lessor and was stored at Miami, FL, USA.
It was leased to Avianca Colombia in Jan-06, returning to the lessor in Oct-08. In Nov-08 it was leased to AeroGal (Ecuador) as HC-CHC, only to be re-registered N521NA again a week later and then back to HC-CHC in early Dec-08. It was returned to the lessor in Apr-10 and was stored at Tucson, AZ, USA as N169CA.
In Jun-10 it was leased to National Airlines again, for two years, returning to the lessor in Jun-12 when it was stored at Victorville, CA, USA. It was sold to FedEx Federal Express in Sep-12 and remained stored. It was re-registered N979FD in Apr-13 and was converted to freighter configuration with a main deck cargo door at Singapore-Seletar in Nov/Dec-13. Current, updated 16-Apr-23.
