While most of the little four-engine planes used by NJS are operated for Qantas AirLink, the original of this model, registration VH-NJA, is one of just a handful of planes that NJS operates itself. The airline maintains only a few routes, among them one to Christmas Island. Otherwise, its business focuses on complementing Qantas flights for the Australian government, guarding the coastline, and offering maintenance services as well as business charter flights.

In 1991, the Romanian charter company was split off from the state-owned Tarom as a private company. Besides three BAC 1-11/500s, produced in Romania, it also operates the last European passenger Boeing 707, which, however, can only be used on government missions. The original of this model is the BAe 146-200 with the registration YR-BEA, that was added to the fleet last May.

With its new trio of leased BAe 146-300s, Air Berlin can now serve airports where the runway would be too short for its Boeing 737s. This new model, registration D-AWBA, is a great addition for all those who would like to keep their Air Berlin collection up to date.

Since 2003 the award-winning Air Dolomiti of Trieste, Italy has belonged to the Lufthansa Aviation group. Five examples of the British four-engined BAe 146 are in the fleet, of which I-ADJF was the first to be taken on in April 2005.
