Feb 12, 2021 (newstodate): Only three of initially 10 Avro jet aircraft are now left on the shelf of Skyworld Aviation.
The latest sale by Skyworld Aviation of the ex-Braathens aircraft comprises one Avro RJ100 to the Bahrain Defence Force; the aircraft is now undergoing maintenance at Norwich prior to its ferry-flight to Bahrain in April 2021.
In January 2021, Skyworld Aviation announced the sale of two aircraft to the UK company CFS Aero, based in Warwick - and also in January two more aircraft were taken off the shelf for delivery to new owner Summit Air of Canada.
In August 2019, Sweden's second-largest domestic airline Braathens Regional Airlines, later renamed BRA, contracted Skyworld for re-marketing of its fleet of Avro RJ aircraft.
The package comprised eight Avro RJ100 and two Avro RJ85 aircraft, plus accompanying spare engines, spares and tooling.
With the latest transaction, Skyworld Aviation has sold seven Avro aircraft of the package, leaving only one Avro RJ100 and two Avro RJ85 aircraft up for sale.
