Quebecair

    Quebecair was an airline based in Montreal, Quebec, originally founded as Rimouski Airlines. In 1953, it adopted the name Quebecair following a merger with Gulf Aviation. Throughout its history, the airline operated a variety of aircraft, such as the Beech 18, the Beaver, and of course, the Douglas DC-3. Its first jet aircraft was the BAC 1-11, introduced in 1969. Quebecair operated regular domestic services in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, as well as in the northeastern United States. In late 1986, the airline received a pair of Fokker F-28 Mk.1000 aircraft from Braathens SAFE. At that time, the government of the province of Quebec was a shareholder in the company, and its financial situation was truly precarious. In July 1986, CP Air acquired 35% of what remained of Quebecair, and the following year it became part of Inter-Canadien. The Fellowships remained in the fleet of the new company for only a couple of years before being sold to the French regional airline TAT, through a deal managed by Crédit Lyonnais.

In the early 1970s, Peru was visited twice by Fokker F-28s conducting demonstration tours. The first visit was in May 1970 with PH-MOL (cn. 11003), and the second in May 1972 with PH-ZAV (cn. 11032).

On May 25, 1972, the Fokker F-28 Fellowship was shown to Faucett and SATCO.

  Toumaï Air Tchad was the flag carrier airline of Chad, established in 2004 and based at N'Djamena International Airport, offering domestic and international flights across Africa. The company was created to revitalize national transportation. Initially, it operated with leased aircraft.

    In early January 2006, it added its first Fokker F-28, TT-EAS - msn. 11204 -. This was a Mk.4000 version, which was followed, the next month, by a second leased unit from Air Leasing Cameroon (TJ-ALD msn. 11173). The African company stated that it opted for the Fellowship mainly because of its low operating cost and its ability to operate at airports with shorter runways.

    Unfortunately, the airline's trajectory faced security issues, leading to the suspension of international flights in July 2012. Although there were attempts to revive it and renew its fleet as Tchadia Airlines with certifications in later years, regular operations were not resumed consistently. The last operational report for its only Fellowship dates back to 2018. When on July 23, 2018, he took a flight from Abéché to N'Djamena operated by Air Cameroon for the United Nations Humanitarian Service (UNHAS).
