In KLM service 1933-1936. KLM sold PH-AIQ to Československá Letecká Společnost where they were re-registered as OK-AIQ. They used them on their Prague-Vienna-Berlin route until 1938. OK-AIQ then went to Commercial Aviation Corporation at Lydda, Palestine (now Ben Gurion Airport) in December 1938 where it became VQ-PAF, crashing there on 13 January 1939. The wreck remained on the airfield until 1948 when it was taken on charge by the Israeli Air Force but never re-built and it was subsequently scrapped in Israel.
