Farnborough International Air Show - Bombardier Aerospace launched today a
brand-new version of its versatile Q400 NextGen aircraft, a cargo-passenger
combi configuration that will deliver the greatest payload capability and
operational flexibility in its segment. 


The cargo-passenger combi Q400 NextGen aircraft is available in various
configurations. In the lay-out that provides the highest payload capability, the
aircraft offers up to 8,200 lb. of cargo capacity and up to 1,150 cubic feet of
cargo volume. In this high-cargo version, the aircraft can comfortably
accommodate 50 passengers at 32-inch seat pitch. The combi Q400 NextGen
turboprop's "Class C" cargo compartments are designed to meet the industry's
latest regulations. 


"The combi Q400 NextGen aircraft provides unique opportunities for airlines
operating routes with medium to low passenger loads, but with high cargo
potential," said Ray Jones, Senior Vice President, Sales, Marketing and Asset
Management, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Along with the recently launched
dual class and extra capacity options, the combi option illustrates Bombardier's
ongoing investment in the Q400 NextGen aircraft program and offers airlines
unmatched operational flexibility in short-haul markets. The Q400 NextGen
aircraft is now well positioned to reinvent once again the contemporary
turboprop market through additional profitable growth. 


"We are also pleased to confirm that we are in advanced discussions with a
number of customers interested in the combi variant," he added. 


About Q400 NextGen aircraft 

Optimized for short-haul operations and capable of seating up to 86 passengers,
