Mar 16, 2012 (newstodate): Saratov Airlines may become the launch customer in Russia of Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
The manufacturer is currently under certification of the aircraft by the Russian authorities, and pending the outcome of this process expected to be completed within few weeks, Saratov Airlines may sign a leasing agreement for delivery of three Bombardier Q400 aircraft.
That would mark the entry of the aircraft into Russia's large regional aviation business where ATR has so far managed to gain a foothold as the only western provider.
