Birgenair

[4] To improve the utilization of the aircraft, the Boeing 757 was operated temporarily for other airlines in the wet-lease in the winter months with little demand, including for the Caribbean Airways, based in Barbados.

In order to be able to continue its transatlantic flights in the winter season 1995/96, Öger Tours and Birgenair entered into a cooperation with the newly founded Dominican company Alas Nacionales in 1995.

After receiving the flight rights, Birgenair transferred its Boeing 767-200ER to the Dominican Republic, where the aircraft was registered with the partner company on October 25, 1995, with the registration HI-660CA.

The aircraft officially leased to Alas Nacionales continued to wear the colors of Turkish society except for a changed lettering.

In addition, Birgenair rented its Boeing 757-200 to the Argentine airline STAF in November 1995 and used it on five flight pairs between the Dominican Republic and Buenos Aires.
