Qazaq Air Takes Delivery of Two Bombardier Q400 Aircraft

Qazaq Air, a Kazakhstan-based regional airline owned by the Samruk-Kazyna Sovereign Welfare Fund, has taken delivery of two Bombardier Q400 aircraft.

The aircraft were ordered in 2017 following Qazaq Air’s launch of domestic services in Kazakhstan in July 2015 using three leased Q400 aircraft.

“We are delighted with the performance of our fleet of Q400 turboprops and are excited to welcome the additional aircraft into our operation,” said Qazaq Air’s Acting Chief Executive Officer, Adel Dauletbek. “With our larger fleet, our customers will benefit from the expansion of our route network within Kazakhstan, as well as to nearby cities in the Central Asian region.”

Ross Mitchell, Bombardier’s Vice President, Commercial Operations, said, “We congratulate Qazaq Air on the growth of its operations and expansion of its network. The Q400 aircraft continues to prove itself in some of the most challenging locations around the world. The aircraft’s speed, range and fuel efficiency, and especially its certification for operations down to -54°C make it ideal for operations on Qazaq Air’s long routes in the Kazakh market.”
