At its height, Interlink operated a fleet of four Boeing 737-200 aircraft (equipped with 106 passenger seats, 18 of which were in business class),[5] the first of which had been acquired in October 2005. By late 2009, all but one had been withdrawn from service. Additionally, between 2006 and 2007, the airline was in possession of three smaller Embraer EMB 120 Brasilia aircraft and one McDonnell Douglas DC-9-30 from 2003 until 2005.[5]
