==Fleet acquisition==

Blue Wing Airlines, another Suriname airline, entered into a sales agreement with KLM to acquire two ex-KLM cityhopper Fokker 70 jets in early January 2014 and took delivery of PH-KZV (msn 11556) and PH-WXA (11570). PH-KZV was withdrawn from service at Norwich on January 5, 2014, after arriving as KL1515 from Amsterdam. PH-WXA was withdrawn from service at Amsterdam on the morning of March 30, 2014, after arriving as KL1486 from Humberside. The aircraft then positioned Amsterdam – Norwich for maintenance early the same afternoon as KL9955 where both aircraft were being prepared for service. The aircraft were subsequently sold to Fly All Ways, by then a new independent start-up airline offering transport to regional destinations. On November 20, 2014, the first aircraft (PH-WXA) landed at Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, in the Fly All Ways colours.{{cite web|url=http://www.avianet.eu/meer_nieuws.php?ID=4760|title=::Avianet.eu:: De luchtvaartsite van Nederland.|publisher=|accessdate=June 6, 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150105065024/http://www.avianet.eu/meer_nieuws.php?ID=4760|archive-date=January 5, 2015|url-status=dead}} One month later the second aircraft (PH-KZV) arrived in Suriname. These two are now registered as PZ-TFB and PZ-TFA respectively, in Suriname and stationed at the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport where a new hangar was built.{{cite web|url=http://airnieuws.nl/fokkernieuws/FOKKERfleetlist-live%20dmt/fokkerfleetlist.html|title=Stichting AIRnieuws Nederland|publisher=|accessdate=June 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150624022736/http://airnieuws.nl/fokkernieuws/FOKKERfleetlist-live%20dmt/fokkerfleetlist.html|archive-date=June 24, 2015|url-status=dead}} In December 2024 the airline welcomed a new Airbus A320.https://www.gfcnieuws.com/nieuwe-airbus-a320-aangekomen-op-de-johan-adolf-pengel-international-airport/

==Transition from regular schedule to charter==
