Aviation Memorabilia Newsletter

Since 1995

The history of a couple of De Havilland Canada DHC-8's originally delivered to Time Air.

C-GKTABuilt at Toronto Downsview (YZD), it was delivered to Time Air on February 1989. After the acquisition of Time Air by Canadian Airlines,  it was among the aircraft rebranded as Canadian Regional on April 1993.

After the merger of Air Canada and Canadian, it was again rebranded in the Jazz fleet in March 2002 and Air Canada Express in 2011 (pictured in issue header).

It was then acquired by Voyageur Airways Limited in August 2022 and ferried to North Bay, Ontario where it is currently in storage (below).

Editors' Note: During our research we found some Facebook banter to have this aircraft returned and preserved in Lethbridge, Alberta.

C-GEWQ was delivered to Time Air in March 1991 and followed an identical lifecycle as C-GKTA. However, Planespotters.com shows it as being leased to Maroomba Airlines of Australia, registration VH-QQN since November 2022.
