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:
“Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.”
—Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“... all big changes in human history have been arrived at slowly and through many compromises.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
