WDL Cargo BAe 146-300QT D-AJAM at Köln (Reiner Bexten)
WDL Aviation is adding three BAe 146-300QT freighters to its fleet. The airline has acquired three of the QTs that have recently been retired by ASL Airlines Spain. The first, EC-LOF (msn E3150), was delivered to WDL’s base at Köln on 19 April. Two further QTs were delivered in August: EC-MCK (msn E3153) on 14 August, and EC-LMR (msn E3151) on 31 August. All three were acquired from aircraft and component broker Executive Jet Support (EJS), who had bought them from ASL Airlines Spain. EC-LOF has now been registered as D-AJAM, and painted in the airline’s new colors, with additional ‘Cargo’ titles.
