Bombardiers 90-Seat Q400 Cabin Configuration
Receives Certification from Transport Canada
|
Bombardiers 90-passenger Q400 aircraft has received
certification from Transport Canada, becoming the first
in-production commercial turboprop in the world to reach that
capacity.
With increasing growth in the number of
passengers per departure in the turboprop market, we are excited
to offer our customers a higher-capacity configuration and 15%
lower cost per seat compared to the previous standard Q400,
leading to more profitability potential for airlines, said Todd
Young, Head of the Q Series Aircraft Program, Bombardier
Commercial Aircraft. Upon delivery later this year, our launch
customer SpiceJet will become the first airline to take advantage
of the profitable and efficient operations of the 90-seat Q400
aircraft following its order of up to 50 in 2017.
The 90-seat configuration represents another
step in Bombardiers continuous improvement of its Q400 aircraft. Other
improvements under development includes a 2,000-lb-increase in
payload capacity and an escalation of the A-Check and C-Check
intervals from 600/6,000 to 800/8,000 flight hours.
