Following on from the airlines that only operate Airbus or Boeing thread. I propose a thread on airlines that operate none of either manufacturers aircraft.
To keep this from going down to very small airlines, can I propose that to qualify an airline should operate 10 aircraft.
And I am going to ban regional carriers for bigger airlines in the USA, like colgan for US Airways, etc.

The best examples that I can think of from the Philippines are Sky Pasada and Mid-Sea Express, which are small carriers flying missionary routes which none of the major airlines (PR, 5J, 2P, Z2, DG, PQ) are inclined to serve.
Also Jazz, and many Canadian regional carriers that only operate propeller types, mainly serving small communities in the more remote parts of Canada, such as the following (only mentioning those with scheduled services):
Air Creebec
Air Georgian (operates many domestic and transborder routes for AC with Beech 1900Ds)
Air Labrador
Air Tindi
Aklak Air
Bearskin Airlines
Buffalo Airways
Calm Air
Central Mountain Air
Exploits Valley Air Services
Harbour Air
Hawkair
Helijet
Island Express Air
Kivalliq Air
Northern Thunderbird Air
North-Wright Airways
Orca Airways
Pacific Coastal Airlines
Pascan Aviation
Perimeter Aviation
Provincial Airlines
Sky Regional Airlines (operates YTZ-YUL for AC with 5 Q400s)
Thunder Airlines
Transwest Air
Wasaya Airways
West Coast Air
West Wind Aviation

If wholly owned, but separate subsidiaries count like Portugalia (TAP) and Air Dolmiti (LH), then there are many examples in Europe with a 10+ non-A or B aircraft fleet.

Although they only have 9 active aircraft aircraft right now (the 10th, 1 of their 2 Dash 8s was seriously damaged in Greenland last year) Air Iceland (NY) have 6 F50s, 2 DHC8s (only 1 flying, mentioned above) and 2 DHC6 Twin Otter aircraft that operate from Akureyri (AEY), these 2 are owned by Norlandair but are in Air Iceland colours.
