Philippine Airlines Converts Q400 Options to Firm Orders
Operator will now take one dozen of the turboprops in a new dual-class 86-pax configuration.

Philippine Airlines (PAL) signed an agreement with Bombardier Commercial Aircraft here at the Paris Air Show converting the seven options from a deal for one dozen Q400 turboprops placed last December into firm orders. Based on list price, the order is valued at approximately €210 million ($235 million). Outfitted in a new dual class 86-passenger configuration, the purchase validates Bombardier’s faith in demand for turboprops with capacities of up to 90 passengers, said Fred Cromer, president of the airframer’s commercial division.
