Dear Full Flight fans and lovers of rare civil aircraft,
today I am really happy to show you a real gem in the air which is continuously getting more and more rare. I am going to take you on a full flight experience onboard a British Aerospace Avroliner (Avro) RJ100 from Pau Pyrénées to Lyon’s Saint Exupéy Airport. We are lucky to have the best view on the entire plane being able to watch both the landscape and the small turbojet engines which are mounted on that special aircraft.
The flight is operated by Jota Aviation, a sub-charter airline, on behalf of HOP! le voyage en France par Air France (a subsidiary of the “real” Air France).
he British Aerospace 146 (also BAe 146) is a short-haul and regional airliner that was manufactured in the United Kingdom by British Aerospace, later part of BAE Systems. Production ran from 1983 until 2002. Manufacture of an improved version known as the Avro RJ began in 1992. A further-improved version with new engines, the Avro RJX, was announced in 1997, but only two prototypes and one production aircraft were built before production ceased in 2001. With 387 aircraft produced, the Avro RJ/BAe 146 is the most successful British civil jet airliner programme.
The BAe 146/Avro RJ is a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a T-tail. It has four turbofan engines mounted on pylons underneath the wings, and has retractable tricycle landing gear. The aircraft has very quiet operation, and has been marketed under the name Whisperjet. It sees wide usage at small, city-based airports such as London City Airport. In its primary role, it serves as a regional jet, short-haul airliner, or regional airliner, while examples of the type are also in use as private jets. The BAe 146/Avro RJ is in wide use with several European-based carriers such as CityJet. The largest operator of the type, Swiss Global Air Lines, retired its last RJ100 in August 2017.
The BAe 146 was produced in -100, -200 and -300 models. The equivalent Avro RJ versions are designated RJ70, RJ85, and RJ100. The freight-carrying version carries the designation “QT” (Quiet Trader), and a convertible passenger-or-freight model is designated as “QC” (Quick Change). A “gravel kit” can be fitted to aircraft to enable operations from rough, unprepared airstrips.
Jota Aviation is a specialist charter airline based at London Southend Airport, United Kingdom, and with the related Jota Sport, Jota Design and Jota Historic divisions, forms the Jota Group.
Jota Aviation Limited holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence No. 2376; it is permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.
Jota Aviation was founded in 2009, it was established to meet the travel and cargo demands of the motorsport industry, and then expanded into a specialist air charter and aircraft management company, offering 24-hour-a-day response from its London Southend Airport base. The airline states that it is the largest operator of King Air aircraft in Europe.
As well as ad hoc passenger Air taxi and cargo charters using the King Air fleet, the company offers ad hoc or ACMI Aircraft lease charter flights on its British Aerospace 146, added to the AOC in 2014.
On 11 January 2016, JOTA announced the addition to their fleet of an Avro RJ85 aircraft. It was delivered to Southend on 5 April 2016.
On 20 February 2017, JOTA received an Avro RJ100, registration G-JOTS, ex Brussels Airlines as OO-DWJ.

HOP! is the brand name of the regional flights operated by subsidiaries of Air France. Its flights are operated by Airlinair, Brit Air and Régional under the HOP! brand. The brand offers daily flights to 50 French and European destinations. Its head office is at Nantes Atlantique Airport.
The new airline brand was created to better compete with the low-cost airlines which have taken a significant market share of Air France’s regional routes. Régional Compagnie Aérienne Européenne operates with 44 aircraft to 38 destinations; Brit Air has 39 aircraft and serves 32 destinations; and Airlinair serves 26 destinations with its 24 aircraft; a combined total of 107 aircraft.
In October 2018, it was reported that HOP! will face restructuring measures, including the merger of all operations under the AF flight codes of parent Air France and a revision of the operated aircraft types.
In February 2019, Air France announced that HOP! services will be rebranded as “Air France HOP”
