Avanti Air to add DHC-8-400s

In January this year, we reported that Avanti Air has sold its two Fokker 100s and was evaluating the A319, A320, B737 and ERJ190 as a potential replacement. Now, the airline has decided on a different track and will introduce at least two DHC-8-400s according to Aerotelegraph.com.

The first Dash is expected to arrive in the coming weeks and will enter service in January. A second is due in the first half of next year. With its two DHC-8-400s, Avanti Air will continue to operate as a charter-specialist. It's not the first time the company operates turboprops as the airline operated the ATR42/72 between 2010 and 2015.
