Air Tanzania has signed a firm purchase agreement for a Dash 8-400 aircraft.
The aircraft, which will be leased to and operated by Air Tanzania, will join three that are already in service and another previously ordered one, to increase the airline's fleet of Dash 8-400 aircraft to five.
"We are delighted to announce the United Republic of Tanzania as the signatory to our first purchase agreement following De Havilland Canada's relaunch in June 2019," said Todd Young, chief operating officer, De Havilland Canada. "The Dash 8-400 aircraft is the world's most advanced and most productive turboprop, and our announcement of this firm order, which will increase Air Tanzania's fleet to five, signals the carrier's confidence in the future of our aircraft program."
