As part of reorganisation plans to get the airline ready for privatisation, in January 1998, the airline announced that it would phase the Boeing 747-200 Combi out of operation and would replace it with a Boeing 767-300ER.
The first ATR 72 was delivered to the airline on 14 November 2005, followed by the second which was delivered to the airline at the Dubai Air Show a few weeks later [REF].
