The initial fleet consisted of a number of ex-British Airways BAC 1-11 400 & 500 series aircraft, as well as a BAe Jetstream 31 that operated on the Newcastle route. The parent airline facilitated fleet replenishment when the 1-11s were found to be beyond noise-compliance upgrading and Boeing 737-500's joined the fleet for a time. At the time of sale in 2003, Maersk Air Uk was a Bombardier Bombardier CRJ100/200 and 700 series operator.
