Delivered new to Kelner Airways in 1992. Transferred to Wasaya Airways In January 1993. Destroyed in a sadly fatal accident in September 2003, while on a charter flight with one crew member and seven passengers from Pickle Lake to Summer Beaver, Ontario. In the circuit to land at Summer Beaver under night visual flight conditions, control was lost three miles to the northwest. The aircraft crashed vertically into a wooded area and intense fire broke out. All on board were lost.

Built as a PA-31-325 then later converted to Panther standard as here. In 1996 it was exported to the USA and is Texas based as N77DS in 2023.

Delivered new to Wasaya in 1990. On 11 December 2015 it crashed 10 miles north of CYPL after departing into icing conditions.

A real work-horse that looks as if it has been ridden hard and put away wet! Outbound after being loaded up with freight (Photo ID: 535200) and here back-tracking for departure off the roller-coaster runway at CYPL. I straightened this photo on a microwave tower in the background so the slope is not an editing error. The official gradient is 0.81%, but this portion is over three times that. The 748 disappeared over the crest of the hill then came thundering back a few minutes later with the Dart engines howling - very impressive.

Delivered new to Wasaya in 1992 and exported as N208AD in 2018. California based as such in 2023.

Delivered new in 1981 to Air Niger and imported in 1991. Here use is being made of the LFD (large freight door) to load up bulky freight for delivery to some northern airstrip. Exported as SE-LIC in 1998 and wrecked as 5Y-BVQ on 14 November 2014 in South Sudan. (Note this is the second use of C-FKTL on a 748. The first was c/n 1613 which burned on the ground while unloading bulk fuel in 1991.)

Parked on the gravel ramp at Pickle Lake, flying with Kelner Airways. Doors open for interior cooling on what was a hot day. Damaged beyond repair on 6 August 1998 while in Wasaya Airways service. On a scheduled freight flight from Pickle Lake, overran the runway at Kasabonika Airport, Ontario, and came to rest in soft ground in an area of sapling trees, 500 feet north of the runway end markers.

Built in 1955 and in 1993 it arrived in Canada as a truck load of parts, having suffering landing gear collapse some years earlier. It became part of a composite rebuild and here hauling freight to remote communities in northern Ontario. On 27 April 1995 it was wrecked after take-off when an engine failed, though still registered in 2021.

Built in 1969 as D-AFSD then imported by Inter City Airways of Oshawa/ON in 1986 as C-GLTC. Converted to a bulk fuel carrier by Wasaya Airways and current in 2021.

Built in 1959 and here hauling freight to remote communities in northern Ontario. In May 2008 it was exported as N45CF based in Switzerland and flies the airshow circuit, as in Photo ID: 294982.

Built in 1981 for Air Niger as 5U-BAR then imported as above in 1991. In 2004 it went to 748 Air Services as 5Y-YKM and was wrecked during take-off in Sudan on 20 December 2009.

Parked outside their maintenance and freight handling hangar. Note the very useful large freight door.
