Skyworld Aviation has delivered three Saab 2000’s earlier this year to the Directorate General Defence Purchase of Pakistan, arranged on behalf of Swedish shipping company Erik Thun AB. The aircraft, serial numbers 024, 038 and 062 were previously in operation with BRA (Braathens Regional Airlines) of Sweden.
The original agreement was signed under a formal procedure at the Ministry of Defence Production headquarters in Islamabad on February 16, 2018. Serial number 038 (SE-MFF, now J-038) was the first to be delivered in April 2018, quickly followed by serial number 024 (SE-LTX, now J-024). Serial number 062 (SE-LTU) was the last to depart on June 18, and is re-registered as J-062. All were subject to work packages at Täby Air Maintenance in Orebrö, Sweden prior to ferry flight.
