Sun Air

It was always a question mark for myself how come British Airways is operating several routes within the Nordic countries and also within Germany with quite small aircraft? This is one example. This is OY-NCU landing at Oslo Gardermoen airport. OY-NCU is a Dornier Do-328 version 300 jet which according to flightradar has lately been pendeling especially between Billund (DK), Friedrichshafen (DE), Düsseldorf (DE) and Oslo (NO). It is just in the colours of British Airways, but the real operator is Sun Air.

Dornier Do-328 OY-NCU was delivered as a new plane to Skyway Airlines of USA in 1999. It came to Sun Air Scandinavia of Denmark in May 2013.

This is not quite the smallest scheduled flight aeroplane I have been on, but close. This OY-SVB is a Sun Air BAe Jetstream 31 which at the time was operating the route between Aalborg in Denmark and Oslo in Norway. It is probably also the smallest aircraft that I have ever seen in the colours of British Airways. The machine was originally delivered to J-Air in 1997 and it came to Sun Air of Scandinavia in 2003.

The flight from Aalborg to Oslo has ended and it's time to fill up the tanks. Fueling the small machine is not quite as automatic as with the big planes.
