Italian start-up Sky Alps has signed a long term lease-agreement with Chorus Aviation for two DHC-8-400s. The aircraft are G-ECOK (4230), currently stored at Halifax and G-ECOO (4237), currently stored at Sandefjord-Torp. Both were previously used by flybe and are expected to be delivered in April and May.
