Scandic fleet renewal
Tristar was only operated as a stopgap measure. Air Scandic was looking at Finnair DC10s as they have had a long standing relationship together. Other types have also been looked at.
A300's are approaching large checks such as landing gear replacement etc. Furthermore Since these 2 busses are FFCC ones many of the parts used on a standard B2 and B4 are not compatible with those on the Air Scandic airplanes.
L1011 is much costlier to operate than DC10, regardless the age of the aircraft and for any carrier operating in Europe, would not be an option.
They have been in biz for quite a while, so they must be foing something right.
