Bombardier delivers first dual-class 86-seat Q400
21 JULY, 2017 SOURCE: FLIGHT DASHBOARD BY: JON HEMMERDINGER BOSTON
Bombardier has delivered its first dual-class 86-seat Q400 turboprop, handing
over the aircraft to Philippine Airlines on 20 July.
PAL became the first customer for the configuration in December 2016 when it
signed deals that included firm order for five 86-seat Q400s and purchase
rights for an additional seven aircraft. The carrier recently converted those
seven options to firm orders at the Paris air show.
PAL has chosen to outfit their aircraft with 10 premium seats with 33in pitch
and 76 economy seats with 29in pitch.
Thai low-cost carrier Nok Air already operates seven 86-seat Q400s, albeit in
an all-economy configuration. It was the launch customer for the high density
variant of the aircraft, which typically carries 76 or 78 passengers.
Bombardier will deliver five Q400s to PAL this year and seven in 2018, Flight
Fleets Analyzer shows.
Bombardier has been marketing a 90-seat all-economy variant of the turboprop
since February 2016, but has yet to land any customers for the denser
configuration.
