Carpatair
is soon taking their first Embraer ERJ 195 into service. This aircraft is going
to replace one F100, to be withdrawn from use in 2020.
During its general annual meeting on 061119, Virgin Australia Regional
Airlines has announced to retire three F100’s by March 2020 as part of the
domestic capacity reduction.
Further to the news item in our previous edition, Air Panama has resumed
F50 services from David in Panama to San Jose, Costa Rica.
Air Niugini
plans to develop their technical department in Port Moresby into a facility for
heavy maintenance of Fokkers, Dash-8 and other types and also for other airlines
in the region.
On 121119 the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority has barred seven Silverstone
Air Services aircraft from operating, pending further investigations into
recent incidents with various of their planes.
Simultaneously, the operating license of Safe Air Company was suspended
by the Kenyan CAA. Safe Air Company is known to currently operate at least three
F50’s on lease contracts.

On
June 1 2002 SkyTeam GmbH, a subsidiary of ECCS Cargo Charter Service,
went out of business. At that time the cargo airline had three Friendships in
operation and all three were stored at Karlsruhe Baden-Baden airport and put for
sale. D-ACCS (10434) was bought by MNG Airlines as source of spare parts for
their own F27 freighter fleet. This picture shows that many parts have been
removed and the fuselage is still present, 17 years after being withdrawn from
use.

Not only the Kenyan registration of Kush Air F50 is now known (5Y-CGX,
20333), but we can also present a picture of this rare aircraft.

this aircraft. The reserve price was approximately € 4600. |

Registration cancelled 180919 as exported. Miniliner was the last known
operator, this airline ceased in 2015; the aircraft was stored at
Bergamo since. If 'exported' is not an error, we look very much forward
to learn who is the new owner or operator of this 50 year old
Friendship. |

Fly540 Uganda Ltd. Also this abandoned Friendship was on auction at
Nairobi Wilson airport on 090819. The reserve price was slightly less
than € 4200, but this limit was not met. It will likely be scrapped for
creating more parking space at the airport. |

selected for naming this aircraft; it is a Flemish slang word meaning

this name fitting as its parents (Cityjet, KLM and Amapola Flyg) are all
foreigners. |
