The Dash 8-400 is ideally suited to the airline’s routes due to its fuel efficiency and performance in hot conditions. Carst Lindeboom, Sales Director Asia Pacific at TrueNoord, commented: “We are delighted to continue working with Nexus Airlines and to support the expansion of their Dash 8-400 fleet as they enhance vital regional connectivity across Western Australia. It has been a pleasure partnering with De Havilland Canada on this project.
