An unidentified airline has signed a firm agreement for five Bombardier Q400 NextGen aircraft; the order is valued at approximately $160 million based on list prices.

“Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft have been gaining headway in markets around the world, and approximately 40 operators now have these aircraft in service or on firm order,” said Bombardier Commercial Aircraft president Mike Arcamone. “Q400 aircraft have transformed the perception of turboprops, and as airlines and other operators benefit from the aircraft’s advanced capabilities, the turboprop lives on.”
