FLEET UPDATE: First ex-company-owned PLUNA CRJ-900 departs Montevideo (MVD)

01MAR15 CORRECTION:  This posting originally indicated that "the last three ex-PLUNA CRJ-900's reportedly departed Montevideo (MVD) on the afternoon of Monday, 12Jan15." However, according to Aviacion News it appears that only one left that day, CX-CRF/C-GSKK (c/n 15204), and it was apparently the first of the seven ex-company-owned CRJ-900's to do so, not one of the last.

13JAN15 CORRECTION:  This posting originally indicated that CX-CRN (c/n 15275) was one of three ex-PLUNA CRJ-900's to depart Montevideo (MVD) on 12Jan15 but reader "MG" has indicated that this is incorrect as the aircraft "departed Uruguay in late-2012 and has been flying for Mesa Airlines in the USA as N249LR for nearly two years."

The first of seven ex-company-owned PLUNA CRJ-900's reportedly departed Montevideo (MVD) on the afternoon of Monday, 12Jan15.  The aircraft was CX-CRF (c/n 15204) re-registered as C-GSKK to Skyservice Business Aviation of Montreal, Toronto and Calgary although it was reportedly purchased by Strategic Air Finance of Miami, Florida.
