Jazz orders 5 CRJ900s to operate under Air Canada Express brand
Chorus Aviation, the parent of Jazz Aviation, has placed a firm order for 5 Bombardier CRJ900s valued at US$229m at list prices. The 76-seat CRJ900s, which will include 12 business class seats, will enter service with Jazz in early 2017 under the Air Canada Express brand as part of Jazz’s capacity purchase agreement with Air Canada. Chorus has also taken purchase rights for 5 additional CRJ900s. Jazz also announced it will reconfigure its 16 75-seat CRJ705s to 76-seat aircraft with 2 classes, standardising those cabins with those of the incoming CRJ900s. Both the new CRJ900s and the reconfigured CRJ705s will have seatback inflight entertainment systems and Gogo wireless Internet access. Jazz will also reconfigure 21 Q400 NextGen turboprops to add 4 seats, going from 74 to 78 seats in all-economy class configuration. <br/>
