BVI Airways Avro RJ100 VP-LWW following its arrival at Summerside (Anonymous contributor)
Avro RJ100 VP-LWW (msn E3274) of BVI Airways was ferried from Fort Lauderdale to Summerside on 26 August. She had been stored at Fort Lauderdale since 7 June, following the end of its contract with Haiti’s Sunrise Airways. She joins the airline’s other RJ100, VP-LOS (msn E3282), who had been undergoing maintenance by Tronosjet. The airline was planning to begin services from Tortola to the USA, but announced in July that a shortage of cash had forced it to lay off its flight crew.
