Avanti Air sells its 2 Fokker 100s

According to CH-Aviation, charter-specialist Avanti Air has sold its two Fokker 100s to Australian airline Network Aviation. D-AOLH (11505) is expected to make the long journey to Australia later this month, while D-AOLG (11452) is due in October. Avanti Air will use this Fokker 100 to continue their operations during the 2021 summer season. In the meantime the airline is looking into replacement aircraft and is evaluating the A319, A320, B737 and ERJ190.

Avanti Air was founded in 1994 with two Beech 1900s, but also operated five ATR-42s and three ATR-72s over the years before becoming an all jet-operator.

The two Fokker 100s will be the eighteenth and nineteenth Fokker 100 in the fleet of Network Aviation, which is owned by Qantas. The aircraft are operated in the QantasLink-livery out of the company's base at Perth. Network also has eight A320s in the fleet, which are also flown for QantasLink.
