After its first flight in June 1991, the aircraft in a 168-Y configuration began its journey with Conair (not that ConAir!) in Nov 1991. MSN 179 switched to Airtours in 1997, and was then leased to Indian Airlines as VT-EYE on 9th Oct 2003. Later, she joined the Air India fleet in Aug 2007, before flying for Mexicana and Sky Airline. She finally retired from SCEL (Santiago) in Feb 2013.
The aircraft first flew on 17 June, 2020, bearing serial 10037 and test registration F-WWIM. Leased from Castlelake, she joined the AirAsia India fleet registered as VT-ATD on 20 October, 2020.
On 28 March, 2003 Air India announced the complete integration of its two low-cost subsidiary airlines — Air India Express and AirAsia India. Consequently,
VT-ATD was repainted, and transferred to AIX Connect on 08 November 2023. The aircraft remains active at the time of this model going into production.

VT-Jets was founded in 2023 as a passion project by Indian Pilots and AvGeeks, who are collectors themselves. We saw an opportunity to chronicle India's rich aviation history, combining it with our passion for all things above ground level. What was a conversation amongst friends led to a challenge to design models "we" liked, and considered noteworthy - where each registration and tail numbers told a story. Another intent was to bring these models home to India - a hitherto untouched market where collectors like us had faced unsurmountable challenges importing and discovering models we liked.
VT-Jets is set to change that by designing as well as distribution across India, the middle east, South East Asia, and the rest of the world, where the pilots amongst us also assure worldwide deliveries!
Here's the coolest thing - when you purchase a VT-Jets model, you also join a group of collectors like us who are equally passionate about aircraft scale models.
