Bombardier delivers two Q400 NextGen to Air Côte d’Ivoire

The purchase agreement between Bombardier and Abidjan-based Air Côte d’Ivoire, which covers two firm-ordered Q400 NextGen aircraft plus two options, was announced on December 18, 2013. Air Côte d’Ivoire is the national airline of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire.

The airline has also opted to enroll its Q400 NextGen fleet in Bombardier’s Smart Parts program, which offers competitive and predictable component exchange and repair costs, as well as superior quality and availability of key components.

As previously announced, based on list price, the contract value for the two Q400 NextGen aircraft is approximately $69 million US. Should Air Côte d’Ivoire’s two options be converted to firm orders, the contract value would increase to $141 million US.

Bombardier’s customer support network for commercial aircraft in Africa includes a Regional Support Office (RSO) and spare parts depot, co-located in Johannesburg, South Africa as well as Authorized Service Facilities in South Africa and Ethiopia.
