Former Mesaba RJ85 N514XJ at Köln (Wolfgang Zilske)

Several former Mesaba Avro RJ85s have been ferried to Europe in recent weeks, in anticipation of being delivered to CityJet. At least four RJ85s had been ferried by the end of June, with N513XJ (msn E2329), N514XJ (msn E2330), and N521XJ (msn E2346) going to Norwich and N517XJ (msn E2335) to Exeter. N514XJ was later ferried onward to Köln. All will require a variety of modifications before joining CityJet’s fleet.
