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.

Famous quotes containing the words air, fleet and/or history:
“Easily, with a few convulsive quirks, they give up their watery ghosts, like a mortal translated before his time to the thin air of heaven.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away.”
—Thomas Moore (1779–1852)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
