In 1986, charter airline Wardair was granted permission to operate domestic and international scheduled service. The airline leased three A300s from South African Airways in August 1986 to bolster their fleet for the expansion. This aircraft was the first to be returned in August 1988 as new A310s ordered began to be delivered. Later converted to a freighter, it is current with Tripoli based Global Air Transport as ER-ABR at the time of uploading.
