Acquired Aug 96, it was returned to the leasing company in Dec 97. It then operated with Avianca as HK-4137X and Austral as LV-BHN. In Dec 2012 it came to Europe as EC-LTV with Swiftair. Whilst on a wet lease to Air Algerie this aircraft crashed, en route, 80Km NW of Gossi (Mali) on 24 Jul 2014. A set of circumstances led to the aircraft stalling at high altitude and the crew not taking the correct recovery action.
