Air Aruba Fleet History
Air Aruba's YS-11s were the first acquired airplanes to be introduced into their fleet. After some time, Air Aruba initially replaced these with EMB120s. Later on, they acquired a Boeing 757 (to fly to Miami). Furthermore, the fleet size expanded by introducing the Boeing 727, 737 and a 767 that operated flights throughout Europe and some U.S. routes. In the last operating years of Air Aruba, only the MD-88, MD-90 and DC-9 were utilized by Air Aruba before closing its doors.

Wheel and go,leaving air in shreds
black beaks shine in gray haze.
Brushed by the hawk’s wing

Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
