Air Inuit uses for flights from Montreal besides classic -200s also somehow newer Boeing 737-300s, although aircraft C-GFFN with its 32 years is also not the youngest.
This DHC-8 of Air Inuit also belongs to rare visitors, which can be seen among big airports exclusively in Montreal, otherwise it operates mainly between small communities with hardly pronounced names in Nunavik province.
The fleet of Southwind Airlines slowly grows and contains a colourful mix of different aircraft types usually in 1-2 pieces. The biggest type is Boeing 777-300, which currently operates almost exclusively from between Antalya and Düsseldorf.
Probably the most precious catch among Venezuelan carriers, somehow main aim of this Latin American trip, is this MD-83 operated by Venezolana. As it is not visible on FR24 and operates really unregularly, it flew over my head around noon when I already gave up my waiting at the seaside near the airport. Luckily later, during an apron visit, it was still parked there in its full beauty and they even removed the stairs for us :-)
Few years ago Antalya was one of the few airports in Europe, where it was possible to photograph the Airbus A340-500 of Azerbaijan Airlines, today this carrier operates mainly small aircraft types, including the latest A320neo.
Flights between Venezuela and Dominican Republic are often irregular and some of them are not visible in the history on FR24. During my visit I was pleased by two Boeing 737-300s of Rutaca Airlines within a short time.
This A319 is operated by HiFly Malta, its registration resembles the former contract to transport employees of Airbus, its colours are from the now defunct Icelandic operator Nice Air and currently flies on behalf of Air Malta.
Avianca, the second oldest airline in the world, celebrated 100 years of existence in 2019 and for this reason applied retro colours from the 1960s to this A320.
The first landing of Air Canada logojet "Disney Wish" C-FVLX at Vienna on 04 April 2024 did not work out, as the weather was awful. Today it luckily repeated the same route and with success, although it was very close call, 5 minutes after landing the light "switched off"...
InterCaribbean Airways from Turks and Caicos Islands is almost unknown in our territory, however it operates twice daily to Santo Domingo not only from its home base but also from the British Virgin Islands with a mix of ATR-42, ATR-72, ERJ-145 and EMB-120 aircraft types.
It is already very rare to see the "flying shoe box" in Europe these days. However, the US airline Air Cargo Carriers is proud of its fleet and uses them besides Continental US also from its base in San Juan around the Caribbean.
Low-cost carrier Arajet has its seat in Santo Domingo and operates not only in the region, but also to Canada. I used it for my transport back to Bogota and thanks to a stop in Santiago (de los Caballeros) I discovered that the city of such name exists also in the Dominican Republic, where most people recognize only seaside locations such as Punta Cana, Puerto Plata or La Romana.
There is a small airport La Isabela International to the north of Dominican Republic capital Santo Domingo, which except for General Aviation also handles regional flights with small aircraft. This EMB-120 registration ZS-KLM has nothing to do with the Netherland´s KLM and even the company´s name does not reflect the conditions in which I took this picture...
There are also numerous cargo flights, especially from the USA, to the Las Americas International Airport in the Dominican Republic capital Santo Domingo. One of them during my visit was also this converted B767-300 of Northern Air Cargo.
The so called "ABC Islands" consist of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, all former colonies of the Netherlands and today part of the Netherlands Antilles. Although sea distances are not long, practically the only mean of transport among them are local flights, operating nonstop between sunrise and sunset, also with this DHC-6 Twin Otter.
Patrolling over the waters of the Netherlands Antilles islands is done daily from the airport at Curacao by a pair of DHC-8s of the Caribbean Coast Guard.
This ERJ-190 of SkyHigh Dominicana carries interesting livery. Originally its basic colour was white and the company logo on the tail has been in the old style, now it was repainted into basic grey colour and it has a new style logo on the tail, while on the fuselage the old style logo has been retained. It is unknown to me whether the reason for logo style change has something to do with the fact, that the original logo resembled the one of the bankrupt Slovak operator SkyEurope Airlines...
Boeing 747-8F with the 50th Cargolux Anniversary logo operates already for some time, but I managed to catch it only recently at Vienna during evening´s arrival from Hong Kong via Ashgabat.
Venezuelan carrier Avior Airlines used to operate also to Miami in the USA, however thanks to catastrophic economic situation in its home country it now operates only domestic flights and makes infrequent visits to Bogota and Curacao. I photographed its B737-400 on departure from Willemstad on Curacao.
