PAL signs to purchase Bombardier Q400s
Philippine Airlines has signed a letter of intent to acquire “up to 12” Bombardier Q400 regional turboprops, the planemaker announced Oct 14. The aircraft will be the first in Bombardier’s new 2-class, high-density 86-seat configuration to enter service. The aircraft will have 10 “premium service” seats. Bombardier previously announced an 86-seat variant, but with a single-class cabin. "As Philippine Airlines looks to develop its domestic operations from secondary hubs and increase intra-island connectivity, the 86-seat Q400 aircraft…will increase the carrier's competitiveness by offering the lowest seat-mile and operating costs in the regional aircraft market," Bombardier’s VP sales, SE Asia and Australasia, François Cognard said. <br/>
