TCA - The Cargo Airlines (N6, Tbilisi) retired its sole executive jet, a Hawker 800XPi, in September 2024, according to ch-aviation research, and the aircraft is now up for sale.
4L-VIP (msn 258612) last operated under the 'N6' code on September 16, flying between Istanbul Atatürk and Tbilisi. On September 21, it returned to Istanbul Atatürk, where it has remained parked since. The jet is now listed for sale by Omni International Jet Trading, a United States-based aircraft sales and acquisitions company.
Configured to seat up to eight passengers during its time with TCA, the 21.3-year-old aircraft was initially registered in the United States, then operated in Slovakia for 13 years before joining TCA's fleet in 2021.
With the retirement of the Hawker Beechcraft aircraft, TCA no longer operates corporate jets and now focuses solely on helicopter charter services, with two H125 Airbus Helicopters and two AW109 Leonardo Helicopters.
Founded in 2012 as a cargo airline, TCA initially operated a mix of narrowbody and widebody freighters. The Tbilisi-based company retired its last cargo aircraft in 2021 and has since shifted its focus to private flight services.
