ANZEIGE
Fuer die Erweiterung des regionalen Streckennetzes wird WestJet (Canada) bis zu 45 Bombardier Q400 Turboprops erwerben. Im Gespraech war auch die ATR72. Man kauft lieber regional ein.
'WestJet Airlines has selected Bombardier to supply the propeller aircraft it requires for a new regional service, putting to rest any doubt that the high-profile order would go to the Montreal-based plane manufacturer.
The Calgary-based airline announced Tuesday that it will take delivery of up to 45 of the Bombardier Q400 turboprop planes over the next six years. They will be used for a new regional service that WestJet expects to launch next year.
Until now the Calgary-based airline has exclusively used Boeing jets in its fleet.
There had been some speculation the order could go to a European rival of Bombardier, which is Canada's largest aerospace company and the world's third-largest aircraft maker after Boeing and Airbus.
