ATR 42-300 in Toulouse. Operates for Calm Air. Previously flew for South African Airlink, CityFlyer Express and Avanti Air GmbH.

Vuelopedia is a work in progress: it currently holds about 30% of the information we expect to have by the third quarter of 2027. Although we use only official, highly reliable sources, some aircraft data and history may still contain errors or inaccuracies. We work hard to clear every anomaly from the records using specialized verification tools.
