Bombardier Commercial Aircraft announced today that an airline, which has
requested to remain unidentified at the present time, has signed a firm purchase
agreement for five Q400 NextGen turboprop airliners.


Based on the list price for the Q400 NextGen airliner, the transaction is valued
at approximately $168 million US. 


"In today's challenging economic environment, the Q400 NextGen aircraft offers
the optimum solution with four times the flexibility available to Bombardier
operators today - single class, dual class, extra capacity seating for up to 86
passengers and the newly-launched cargo-passenger combi configurations," said
Ray Jones, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Asset Management,
Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Q400 and Q400 NextGen turboprops continue to
make headway in traditional and emerging markets around the world, and with over
50 customers and operators in nearly 40 countries, the Q400 aircraft's value
proposition is only expected to increase, further shaping the modern turboprop
market." 


About Q400 NextGen aircraft 

Optimized for short-haul operations and capable of seating up to 86 passengers,
the Q400 NextGen aircraft is a large, fast, quiet and fuel-efficient turboprop.
It provides the perfect balance of passenger comfort and operating economics
with a reduced environmental footprint. 


The Q400 NextGen aircraft is the fastest new-technology turboprop, providing
both jet-like speed and turboprop fuel efficiency. The aircraft's economics and
operational flexibility allow airlines to profitably deploy it in a variety of
ways to serve typical short-haul turboprop routes, as well as medium-haul jet
markets. 


Bombardier has recorded firm orders for a total of 511 Q400 and Q400 NextGen
aircraft. Worldwide, Q400 and Q400 NextGen aircraft have transported more than
295 million passengers and have logged over 4.7 million flight hours and more
than 5 million take-offs and landings.
