Bombardier has finalised a firm purchase agreement with Philippine Airlines for five Q400 aircraft with purchase rights on an additional seven.

Based on the list price of the Q400 aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately US$165 million and could increase to US$401 million, should Philippine Airlines exercise all its purchase rights.

“As we strive to become a top-rated airline, the Q Series family of aircraft has enabled us to develop our business model into one which efficiently meets our domestic route requirements while providing our passengers with a full service onboard experience”, said Jaime J Bautista, President and Chief Operating Officer, Philippine Airlines. “We are proud of our collaboration with Bombardier and welcome the first modern and innovatively configured two-class, 86-seat Q400 aircraft to our growing fleet.”
