Transavia used 6 707's over some years from late 60's until the late 70's, mostly leased 707C's (1 from Airlift and 1 from Exec Jet) and 1 707-123B from AA.
They also leased Luxair's old 707-344A for a summer period in 1977.



Mentioned DC-8's earlier - The Med saw plenty from the 1960's -
KLM, Martinair, Sudflug, Pomair, Atlantis, Finnair, Spearair, Karair, Air Spain, Balair and Scanair (SAS) all were using DC-8's on IT's to the Med, and Canaries.
followed a bit later by SATA, Aviaco Spantax, and TAE.

And at LGW STN MAN PIK etc,
we saw the Transatlantic charter DC-8's of CP Air, Capitol, TIA, AFA, Saturn, ONA, World AW, Universal, Airlift, Nordair, Loftleidir, and Air Bahama,
plus APSA, and Saber Air.
Inex Adria had a sole DC-8, then we saw Sudflug, Atlantis, Pomair, Air Spain, Spantax, and Aviaco as LGW regulars.
Scanair, Finnair and Karair into LTN and STN.

Balair, Internord, and Modern Air (from TXL) in the 1960's had all been using the CV990 on Med IT's,
as was Spantax who were then starting to acquire the type.
Nordair CV990 also seen at Gatwick from Canada.
