EXPANDING Innsbruck-based Tyrolean Airways has placed an order for four Canadair Regional Jets, in a contract valued at $80 million. Options have also been secured on a further four aircraft. The first RJ is due for delivery in December.
The Regional Jets will complement the recently acquired Fokker 70 and de Havilland Dash-8 fleet on Tyrolean's domestic and growing international network, and replace Fokker 50 and early Dash-8 turboprops now used on charter routes.
The airline's fleet now consists of four Fokker 70s, three Fokker 50s and 17 DHC-8s (eight -100 and nine -300 models).
Two more DHC-8-300s remain to be delivered.
