Most photos of this DC-8 after its freighter conversion show it with 'Cargo' titles, and some with 'Cargo' and 'Express'. This photo only has 'Express'. They must have had trouble making their minds up!

Delivered new 11th Jan 2017

This Dash 8-400 entered service in Dec. 2007 with Lynx Aviation Inc. flying on behalf of parent company Frontier Airlines as N504LX. In Aug. 2009, Frontier and Lynx were purchased by Republic Airlines which shut down Lynx in Sep. 2010. When AC contracted newly-formed Sky Regional Airlines the rights to fly Air Canada Express service between Montreal (YUL) and Toronto (YTZ), five ex-Lynx Q400s were acquired and registered in the C-FSRx series. Jazz Aviation took over the ACE route and the Sky Regional Q400 leases in Mar. 2017, flying C-FSRW fleet wide until returned to the lessor in Nov. 2020

This new Dash 8-402 in Air Canada Express colours was photographed through the open door of the Bombardier's flight test and delivery center hangar at Downsview Airport, Toronto the evening of July 27, 2016. It was delivered to Jazz Air LP on October 17, 2016.

This Dash 8-300 was delivered new to Air Ontario in April 1991. After the merger of Air Canada and Canadian Airlines, in 2001, AC consolidated its regional airlines and Halifax-based Jazz was born. Later, when AC ran into financial troubles it sold Jazz to investors. In March 2021, AC and Jazz revised their capacity purchase agreement as a result of Covid-19. Major changes included Jazz taking over 25 E175s from Skyregional, continuing to fly 39 78-seat Dash 8-400s and retiring all 19 of its DHC-8-300s, including C-FMDW. Most of the retired Jazz Dash 8-100/300s are now stored in North Bay, ON.

This Dash 8-402 was delivered to Jazz Aviation LP in May 2012 and now wears the latest Air Canada Express colour scheme. It was photographed through the glass from the second floor airside observation area at Vancouver International Airport.

Has been in service since January 2017, initially in 'bathroom blue livery' and since repainted. Here departing to Vancouver on a non-scheduled movement indicated by a JZA7xxx flight number.
