With the recent news that KF Aerospace was awarded Purolator's BC Feeder Network contract for another 10 years, the writing is now on the wall for the venerable Convair 580. The fleet is now down to just three aircraft which include one Convair CV-5800 (C-GKFS) and two Convair CV-580s (C-GKFG and C-GKFF). KF will be replacing the Convair fleet with three ATR 72-500Fs. Two of which will be containerized and the third being Bulk load. The ATR fleet is expected to replace the Convair's in early to mid 2025.
