With the transfer of the OE-LGP to Canada last Wednesday and Thursday, the decommissioning of the Dash 8 fleet at AUA is making further progress. After being taken out of service due to Corona in March, the "Spirit of Alpbach" was initially stored in Bratislava from April to August before flying to St. John's via Glasgow, Reykjavik & Narsarsuaq.
After the first flight in February 2000, she began her career in October 2001 (LN-WDZ) as the first DHC Dash 8-400 handed over to Wideroe. This was followed by N539DS (Horizon Air & Island Air), C-FSPV (Bombardier), D-ADHQ (Augsburg Airways), PH-DHQ (SAMCO Aircraft Maintenance) and finally the delivery in September 2014 as OE-LGP to Tyrolean Airways with the later transfer of operations to Austrian Airlines.
