BOMBARDIER ANNOUNCES COLGAN AIR ORDER FOR 24 Q4O0 TURBO-PROP AIRCRAFT

30 January, 2007, Manassas: Colgan Air inc. has placed an order for Bombardier planes. The Canadian planemaker announced today that Colgan Air inc. wholly owned subsidiary of Pinnacle Air Corp. (PNCL Nasdaq) of Memphis, Tennesee has signed a contract for 24 Bombardier Q400 turbo-prop airliners. Delivery of the Bombardier aircraft, to be operated as Continental Connection, will expand the Colgan Air aircraft stable to 71 aircraft.

The deal is valued at around $421 million. The order increases firm orders for the Bombardier Q400 turboprop to 181 aircraft.

WOW, thats news to me!! Thats great for Colgan. Its a big jump from Saab 340s to Q400. I think we are going to be seeing many Rjs go away and being replaced by turbo-props
