Jun 14, 2010 (newstodate): Estonian Air hopes to see its first new CRJ-900 aircraft in the fleet by October this year.
-More details may become available at tomorrow's shareholders meeting, but we are definitely hoping to see the start of deliveries in time for the coming winter schedule, says Ilona Eskelinen, Estonian Air PR Director.
The carrier is to receive three ex-factory CRJ900 NextGen to replace most of its current fleet of six Boeing 737 aircraft.
Deliveries are more than one year delayed now, due to sustained uncertainty over ownership issues that have impeded the refinancing of the aircraft deal originally negotiated by SAS as part of their solution to the problems from the grounding of the Bombardier Q400 aircraft in late 2007.
