Nov 19, 2008 (newstodate): After repeated delays to the production program, the Swedish cargo operator Nord-Flyg now expects to receive its first converted Q400-PF Package Freighter in the first week of December, 2008.
The aircraft will complete certification procedures by the Canadian austhorities as well as by EASA during the latter part of this week after cargo conversion by the Canadian company Cascade Aerospace Inc.
The second ex-SAS Dash 8 Q400 aircraft acquired by Nord-Flyg is still with SAS Maintenance at Copenhagen Airport, pending its ferry flight to Canada for cargo conversion expected to last four to five weeks.
The carrier has also signed a LoI with SAS for acquisition of a third Q400 aircraft, and this aircraft will probably be delivered for cargo conversion by March or April, 2009.
