Historically they operated one aircraft in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, flying for the World Food Programme, under the auspices of MONUC. The company also operated two Dash 8 and two DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft for Flamingo Air in Haiti, until operations were halted after the fall of former President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Police fleeing insurgents in Cap-Haïtien hijacked one Dash 8 on the ramp and forced the crew to fly them to Port-au-Prince, and during the takeoff roll the aircraft came under fire but was not damaged.[citation needed]
