Mar 13, 2008 (newstodate): Austrian Airlines has decided to acquire four ex-SAS Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 aircraft.
The Q400 aircraft will undergo a "phase-in" check and reconfiguration to Austrian standards, including modification of the cabin and exchange of specific components and systems.
The aircraft will replace some of Austrian's early Dash 8-300 aircraft.
SAS has put its entire fleet of Q400 on the ground since three accidents with landing gear collapses last autumn.
