Tyrolean Airways became the first operator in Europe of the Dash 8 with the delivery of this one on May 30, 1985 (OE-HLR). Destined to spend more time with other airlines on lease, De Havilland Canada first leased it in November 1985. Short sub-leases to Air BC and City Express (C-GIQQ) in December 1985 - January 1986 were typical over the years. The aircraft is pictured back in Canada for Air Atlantic when it was leased November 1987 - March 1988. Sold by Tyrolean in 1991 and stored, it has been active sine 1996. Last registered 5Y-CAU since 2012, it's current at the time of uploading.
