Jan 7, 2009 (newstodate): After several delays to the original schedule, Swedish carrier Nord-Flyg finally received its type certication for its Dash-8 Q400 converted package freighter.
The certificate was issued by the Canadian authorities on December 31, 2008, and the airline is now preparing for launching commercial operations with the aircraft - the world's first commercial Q400 freighter.
The second ex-SAS Dash 8 Q400 aircraft acquired by Nord-Flyg is now in the process of being ferried to Canada for cargo conversion by the Canadian company Cascade Aerospace Inc, 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.
