LUFTHANSA CityLine and Turkish Airlines have announced further orders for Avro RJ regional jets, while National Jet Systems has become the first operator of the aircraft in Australia.
The CityLine deal involves two RJ85s, in addition to the five aircraft ordered in September. The seven aircraft, five due for delivery in 1996 and two in 1997, bring the CityLine RJ order to 17.
Turkish Airlines is leasing four RJ70s to supplement its growing RJ100 operations, while National Jet Systems has leased an RJ70 to add to its 12 British Aerospace 146s.
