The mid-80s were turbulent years for airlines, especially in Canada. Quebecair replaced it's BAC 111s with 737s for domestic flights and leased two DC-8-63s for trans-Atlantic charters. The charters only lasted a few years and this DC-8 went to Nationair at the end of 1985. Unfortunately, the Quebecair name also passed into history by the end of 1986.

First flight for this jetliner was July 21, 1967. Before delivery to Argentina for Compañía Austral de Transportes Aéreos SACI, British Aircraft Corporation used it to demonstrate the type in Romania. Sold back to British Aerospace in 1981, Quebecair bought the aircraft September 1982. It was withdrawn in May 1985 and sold to Okada Air. Registered 5N-AOM, it was again withdrawn in Lagos Nigeria and broken up for spares by October 1992.
