Got used on flights from Europe to the Canary Islands, trips such as Stockholm (pictured) or Helsinki down to Las Palmas/Tenerife have been long popular in winter and, being about 5-6 hours, beyond short haul jets until the 1980s. For the same reason Spantax bought up much of the world's Convair 990 fleet for the same flights.
