Former JetLink Express F28 5Y-JLA (11093) was one of the 73 junk aircraft auctioned in November 2021 by the Kenya Airports Authorities. It was sold for approximately 1450 Euro to a businessman, who reportedly plans to convert it into a nightclub. The fuselage was filmed during a bit chaotic, nightly transport through the city center of Kiambu, just north of Nairobi. (Shaggs Edition; still from a YouTube video; Kiambu, 30 January 2022)
