Interesting aircraft types operated by Cimber Air

Cimber Air was established on the 1st of August 1950. It was founded by the late Captain Ingolf Nielsen.

Cimber Sterling (the name it now operates under) was created on the 7th of January 2009 after Cimber Air bought the air operators certificate of the bankrupt Sterling Airways. Cimber Sterling now operates ATP42/72s, 737-700s, & CRJ-200s.

Back in the days of Cimber Air it operated a range of rarer aircraft types that made them a bit more interesting than many other airlines. Their old colour scheme was also one of my favorites.
