An undisclosed airline based in the Asia-Pacific has signed a purchase agreement for three refurbished Dash 8-400 aircraft, De Havilland Aircraft of Canada has announced.
The turboprop’s jet-like short take-off and landing performance enables the Dash 8-400 to operate at airports with shorter runways, high temperatures, and complex terrain. The refurbished aircraft will be supporting the airline’s network development and fleet strategy and join the airline’s existing fleet of Dash 8-400s.
The deliveries are scheduled to take place through 2027 and 2028 and a comprehensive refurbishment and ensuring the aircraft meet the highest standards of reliability, passenger comfort, and operational efficiency will be part of the agreement.
De Havilland Canada says the agreement highlights the demand for its Dash 8-400 aircraft across the Asia-Pacific region, where its blend of speed, efficiency, and flexibility gives airlines the ability to connect key urban hubs and regional destinations while maintaining strong operating performance.
“We’re proud to support our customer’s continued fleet enhancement with these refurbished Dash 8-400s, which will offer a refreshed passenger experience and increased seating capacity thereby offering increased revenue opportunities,” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice President Sales and Marketing for De Havilland Canada.
“The Dash 8-400 gives airlines the confidence to serve their communities with an aircraft that is fast, efficient, and dependable every day. Through our refurbished aircraft programme, we’re able to deliver that capability with the reliability and support our customers count on.”
