Jersey European Airways has added five British Aerospace 146-300s to its regional jet fleet following a deal to lease aircraft previously operated by Thai Airways International.

The Exeter, UK-based airline is planning to use the aircraft on new routes, such as the service from London Luton to Belfast, starting in August, and the Paris-Brussels route it operates on behalf of Air France. All the 146s are due to be delivered by mid-July.

The aircraft are leased from Walker Aviation Finance.
