    General News

Air Panama
is rumored to plan selling a large part of the Fokker fleet, including six F50 aircraft for which Gran Colombia de Aviación, the new Colombian subsidiary of Venezuelan Avior, seems to have interest.

InterCaribbean Airways have reached an agreement buying all Insel Air shares. The Turks and Caicos airline will continue the activities, but most probably under a different name, as the current name has got a negative reputation. What will happen to the Insel Air F50 fleet remains to be seen.
