Regional aircraft lessor TrueNoord has placed two DHC-8-400s with Norway’s Widerøe. The two 2013 vintage aircraft, MSN 4439/4448, are on an operating lease and formed part of TrueNoord’s latest portfolio acquisition from NAC.
This deal marks TrueNoord’s first transaction in Norway and increases the company’s Scandinavian footprint.
Commenting on the announcement, Michael Adams, Sales Director of Europe for TrueNoord, explained, “Turboprops continue to play a vital role in connecting remote communities through the right sizing of capacity to meet demand, their inherent reliability, and operating cost benefits. TrueNoord is delighted to add Widerøe as a customer, expanding our Dash 8-400 portfolio with the Nordic region’s largest operator of regional aircraft.”
“Widerøe recognises the professional support TrueNoord has provided through the novation of these two Dash 8-400s, which has been seamless,” added Werner Skaue, Director of Aircraft Trading at Widerøe’s Flyveselskap AS. “Our team is pleased to welcome them as a trusted lessor partner going forwards.”
