SAS Q400's
Could anyone please confirm whether or not SAS have put all their Q400's back into service - and if not, are they 'stored' and on the market?
With thanks.

From the Bombardier press release a few weeks ago;
So SAS themselves are replacing Q400s with CRJ900s, but Wideroe and airBaltic will operate 'new' Q400s, and presumably in SAS colours.
Bombardier Aerospace announced today that SAS Scandinavian Airlines and three of its affiliate airlines have signed firm orders for 27 regional jets and turboprops and have taken options on an additional 24 aircraft. Estonian Air of Tallinn, Estonia and SAS have placed firm orders for 13 Bombardier CRJ900 NextGen regional jets and have taken options on an additional 17, while Widerøe’s Flyveselskap A/S of Bodø, Norway and airBaltic of Riga, Latvia have ordered 14 Q400 NextGen high-speed turboprop airliners and have taken options on seven more.
