This former Eastern Airlines Electra was one of 23 operated by Zantop. The airline expanded their international reach by contracting out to other airlines. M343HA spent some time with Channel Express before Zantop wound down and returned their certificate to the FAA. The aircraft was picked up by Air Spray in Canada in 2012 to become C-GOIZ and used for parts.
