Some turboprops are still selling...

Bombardier sells 4 planes

Canadian Press

TORONTO — Bombardier Aerospace says that Japan Air Commuter, the largest regional carrier in the Japan Airlines Group, has ordered four more Q400 high-speed turboprop aircraft — a deal likely worth more than $100-million US.

The order includes an option for one more Q400, and Japan Air Commuter now has firm orders for nine Bombardier Q400s. Japan Air Commuter, based in Kagoshima, Japan, operates 137 flights a day to 23 destinations.

Financial details of the sale were not announced Monday in a release, but in April All Nippon Airways orders four 74-seat Q400s in a deal worth as much as $110-million US.

As of April 30, Montreal-based Bombardier's Q400 firm order book stood at 108 aircraft, of which 80 had been delivered to 11 operators around the world.
