The history of this airline was a troubled one as some aircraft ordered by the airline were painted in its colours, but not delivered, or delivered and not operated or other odd situations occurred. Eventually the airline ceased operations and all aircraft were returned. Dac Air had planned to operate a mix of CRJ-200 and DHC-8-300 aircraft, and had several of both types painted in its colour scheme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CRJ Fleet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dac Air operated a total of two Canadair Regional Jets in its fleet, all being CRJ-200LR series aircraft:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">MSN 7137 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 YR-GPA (To LV-ZTB) \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 CRJ-200LR<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">MSN 7139\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 C-GBBY (YR-GPC NTU) (To LV-ZTC) \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 CRJ-200LR<\/p>\n<p>The second aircraft, 7139, did not actually enter service with Dac Air, but instead was subleased to Lufthansa Cityline for a time.
