airBaltic to transition to an all-Bombardier fleet with four additional Q400s

Nordic Aviation Capital A/S (NAC) (Billund, Denmark) has signed a firm purchase agreement to acquire fourย Q400 NextGenย airliners.

The four aircraft will be operated by airBaltic (Riga, Latvia) and will join eight DHC-8-402 (Q400) NextGenย airliners ordered directly from Bombardier as the airline transitions to an all-Bombardier fleet.

In December 2012, airBaltic announced it was in the process of transitioning to an all-Bombardier fleet ofย CSeriesย andย Q400 NextGenย aircraft. The airline has placed a firm order for 10ย CS300ย aircraft and holds purchase rights on a further 10ย CS300ย airliners. These aircraft will replace older Boeing 737 and Fokker 50 aircraft.
