The registration was cancelled in July 1982 but the aircraft was purchased by Hispaniola in August 1982 and re-registered HI-401. It was withdrawn from use at Puerto Plata Airport in the Dominican Republic in January 1984 and last noted stored there in August 1985 and is thought to have been broken there shortly after.
