Changes a foot all around ?
Dutch Coastguard Dash8’s are on wet lease from Dutch company Jetsupport (from spring 2022)
Jetsupport is backed by Canadian company Provincial Aerospace (or Provincial Air Lines??)
Jetsupport does currently the maintenance of the Dorniers. And PAL has previously delivered 2 Dash8s to Dutch Caribian Coastguard.
