Soon after C-GQBJ was delivered to Quebecair in June 1980, the airline ran into rough air financially. The aircraft was leased to Britannia Airways as G-BJZV May - November 1982 before a further lease to Pan American World Airways registered N388PA April 1983 - May 1985. It returned to service in new Quebecair colors, but was sold to Braathens S.A.F.E. in December 1986.

Leased from Quebecair (C-GQBJ) from May to Nov 1982.

One of three 737s delivered from Boeing (and six others leased) to Quebecair at various times between 1980-1987. This one delivered June 24, 1980, was leased out to Britannia Airways (G-BJZV May - November 1982) and Pan AM (N388PA April 1983 - May 1985). Pictured in Quebecair's final color scheme, the aircraft was sold to Braathens S.A.F.E. as LN-BRL in 1987. After a short lease to LACSA the aircraft returned to operate Braathens' last 737-200 flight in September 1994. Last with TACA Colombia, the aircraft was retired in 2004 and scrapped the following year.

Previously operated as LN-BRL Braathens, C-GQBJ Quebecair, N388PA Pan Am, and G-BJZV Britannia Airways. Retired from TACA and airline service Oct 2003.
