KENYA’S JAMBOJET has agreed a deal with Nordic Aviation Capital to lease two more Bombardier Dash 8-Q400s. The lessor confirmed it has completed a firm purchase agreement with the manufacturer, valued at $64m at list prices, for the two turboprops.
Martin Moller, Chairman of Nordic Aviation Capital, said: “We warmly welcome Jambojet as a new client and the opportunity to increase our global footprint on the African Continent. We are pleased to have partnered with the Jambojet management team in their efforts to grow and modernise their fleet. The Q400 is a high-quality asset with proven operational capability and performance, and we are confident that it will enable them to meet and exceed their performance targets.”
Jambojet currently operates two other examples, acquired from other sources, and intends to transition to an all-Q400 fleet shortly.
