[edit] Fleet
The Santa Barbara Airlines fleet consists of the following aircraft (at July 8, 2006):
| Aircraft | # | Seats | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATR 42-320 | 4 | ||
| ATR 42-300 | 1 | ||
| Boeing 757-200 | 2 | ||
| Boeing 767-300ER | 2 | a wet-lease from Icelandair for their Caracas-Madrid & Caracas-Tenerife routes |
The Boeing 767-300ER aircraft replaced the two older McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30. Santa Barbara Airlines executives promptly announced the timely retirement of the venerable DC-10's, a move that had been speculated and expected for several months. They also announced the decision to wet-lease 2 Boeing 767 aircraft the same week, in mid-October 2005. The 767-300ER's began service on November 2, 2005. Recently they announced the incorporation of Boeing 737-300 to their fleet, the number is still unknown.
