Bombardier Receives Q400 Turboprop Order From ANA Group TORONTO, ONTARIO--OCTOBER 8, 2002 - 14:03 EDT Bombardier Aerospace announced today that All Nippon Airways (ANA) group of Tokyo, Japan has placed a firm order for four Bombardier Q400* turboprop airliners. ANA is scheduled to receive its first Bombardier Q400 in the summer of 2003 with deliveries continuing through 2004. ANA group's Bombardier Q400 aircraft will be operated by All Nippon Network Co. Ltd. They will be based at Osaka's Itami airport and initially fly between Osaka and Kochi, a distance of 115 nm (213 km). "We selected the Bombardier Q400 to expand our fleet for reasons of passenger comfort, reliability, and the aircraft's excellent operating economics," said Yasushi Morohashi, executive vice-president, All Nippon Airways Co. Ltd. "We are delighted that ANA group has chosen the Bombardier Q400," said John Giraudy, president, Bombardier Regional Aircraft. "Japan has become an increasingly important market for regional aircraft and we are proud that our Bombardier Q* Series family of aircraft is a popular choice for operations in Japan." The order announced today increases to 21 the number of Bombardier Q Series Dash(R) 8 aircraft ordered by five Japanese airlines, of which 10 have been delivered. The ANA group accounts for nine of the 21 aircraft ordered. The Bombardier Q400 has proven that on short- and medium-length regional airline routes the aircraft's operating economics and profit potential are exceptional. The Bombardier Q400, with 68 to 78 seats, is the largest capacity aircraft in the Bombardier Aerospace turboprop family. Along with the 37- to 39-seat Bombardier Q200* and 50- to 56-seat Q300, the Q400 offers an extremely quiet and low vibration cabin environment thanks to its superb Noise and Vibration Suppression (NVS) system. All three models share a common pilot type rating, common maintenance procedures, and after-sales support.
