BAE SYSTEMS DELIVERS SIX JETSTREAMS TO BARXH OF CANADA; ANOTHER JETSTREAM 31 SOLD TO INTERNATIONAL JET OF MIAMI

BAE Systems Regional Aircraft has sold five Jetstream 31s and one Jetstream 32 to BARXH of Medicine Hat, Alberta. All of the 19-seaters have been delivered to the operator for charter and daily scheduled services.

The Canadian company, established in 1967 by Les Little, is comprised of three divisions. Alberta Citylink offers scheduled service throughout northern Canada; BARXH Sales provides customers with maintenance leasing services of single and twin-engine aircraft; BARXH Air offers flight training and college courses through a relationship with Medicine Hat College.

“We have been flying the Jetstream aircraft for many years, and there is no other aircraft with better bang for the buck,” said President Les Little.

Regional Aircraft has also sold one Jetstream 31 (SN#807) to International Jet of Miami. The privately held company, which buys and sells aircraft, will accept the 19-seater this month and transfer the aircraft to LET America in Santiago, Bolivia, for charter and scheduled service in the Dominican Republic.

President Fred Flaquer said, “the Jetstream was selected because of its availability, comfort and operating economics.”
