Flybe (BE) signed a contract with Brussels Airlines (SN) to provide two Bombardier Q400 aircraft on a wet-lease basis for two years starting March 25.
The Q400s will serve on various routes for the Belgian airline throughout Europe. The aircraft will carry the SN livery.
BE chairman and CEO Jim French called the deal “another very important milestone in Flybe’s development and is further confirmation of our reputation as a quality provider of professional ‘turn-key’ solutions in the regional aviation market.”
The BE deal is SN’s third wet-lease agreement for regional aircraft, which allows it to operate higher frequencies on thin routes where its own Avro RJ85/100s are not economical in the current high fuel price environment.
The Brussels-based carrier has a wet-lease agreement with British Midlands International (bmi) regional for two Embraer ERJ-145s and Tyrolean Airways for one Q400 but these aircraft fly under their own brands.
