Description
Out of the 21 ATL-98’s built, eight were lost through flying accidents, and the remaining 13 were operated in Europe until the beginning of the 1980's, although by then their initial purpose of the fast delivery of passengers with their vehicles was not so important as it had been in the first few years of service. By the mid 1970's British United Air Ferries began to retire the ATL-98 and resold a number of machines to the United States, Canada, France, Ireland and Spain. Gradually, the airframes began to lose their integrity and some of them were sent to be scrapped. However a few machines were resold once again, to South Africa, where their lives continued until the beginning of the new century. Currently, two airplanes of this type survive: one in private ownership in the USA, and the other in South Africa.
