The order was disclosed on June 18, 2019 during a ceremonial signing event at the Paris Air Show that was attended by the Honorable Ricardo Viegas D&#8217;Abreu, Minister of Transportation, Angola, David Curtis, Chairman, Longview Aviation Capital and Todd Young, Chief Operating Officer, De Havilland Canada.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We selected the Dash 8-400 aircraft to support our development of a stronger domestic network and also to support our regional and international networks,&#8221; said Rui Carreira, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, TAAG Angola Airlines. &#8220;With our acceptance of our first Dash 8-400 aircraft, we are continuing to implement our restructuring strategy and enhancing our service to smaller communities.\u00a0 The Dash 8-400 aircraft is well known for its comfortable passenger amenities, operational versatility and outstanding economics, which will be critical for TAAG&#8217;s operations where large aircraft are not economical.\u00a0 We look forward to its introduction to our fleet and to the diligent, ongoing support of De Havilland Canada&#8217;s teams as we build our network.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are delighted to announce that TAAG has taken delivery of its first Dash 8-400 aircraft which was completed through a delegated delivery process,&#8221; said Mr. Young. &#8220;Amidst the current health restrictions facing many countries and the need for efficient regional aircraft to restart air services, we have developed a remote delivery process to support our customers&#8217; recovery efforts. Regional aircraft are proving to be the most important tools to support market recovery and De Havilland Canada&#8217;s teams are standing ready to provide ongoing service solutions to support TAAG&#8217;s success.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Dash 8-400 aircraft has proven its reliability and flexibility in Africa&#8217;s most challenging environments, including the hot and sandy regions in North Africa and the Ethiopian Highlands. The aircraft&#8217;s hot and high operational capability, along with its jet-like speed and comfort &#8212; while retaining turboprop economics &#8212; are well suited for Africa and contribute to the aircraft&#8217;s diverse customer base. We are confident that the Dash 8-400 aircraft is ideally suited to meet and exceed TAAG&#8217;s requirements, and welcome the airline to our family of more than 70 customers and operators \u2013 many of whom are currently using the Dash 8-400 aircraft to restart flying and deliver essential goods and transport during the COVID-19 pandemic,&#8221; added Mr. Young.<\/p>\n<p><b>About De Havilland\u00a0Aircraft of Canada Limited<br \/>\n<\/b>With its acquisition of the Dash 8 aircraft program, Longview Aviation Capital has proudly relaunched De Havilland Canada, one of Canada&#8217;s most iconic brands.
