Falko aircraft asset manager for its third party aircraft remarketing services has won an exclusive mandate to arrange the sale of a Bombardier-built Dash 8-Q300 regional turboprop airliner for Air Maroc.
The 2001-build aircraft is currently configured with 50 seats and is currently in storage at Maastricht in Holland.
The Dash 8 series of aircraft are popular worldwide with some 1,025 built to date of which 266 are the – Q300 version. These versions are in service with 58 operators worldwide and it is anticipated that these existing customers could be interested in this aircraft. Operators of the smaller Dash 8-100 and-200 variants could also be target airlines if they need the extra capacity offered by the – Q300.
Hamish Davidson, Executive Vice President Business Development of Falko said: “The award of this mandate from Royal Air Maroc is further evidence that the airline market at large now ranks Falko as one of the pre-eminent commercial aircraft remarketing organisations. We are excited by the opportunity to work with Royal Air Maroc and also to market the Dash 8 which is a new aircraft type for us.”
In addition to its core BAe 146/Avro RJ availability, Falko has a further 37 aircraft presently available for sale or lease under third party remarketing mandates.
