The national airline of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ... Luxair Societe Luxembourgeoise de Navigation Aerienne S.A. ("Luxair") ... has signed a firm purchase agreement for three Q400 NextGen aircraft and taken options on an additional two airplanes.
Based on the list price of the Q400 NextGen aircraft, the firm order is valued at approximately $100.3 million and could increase to $169.5 million should Luxair exercise all its options.

"The addition of more Q400 NextGen aircraft - with their excellent economics, environmental credentials and passenger comfort - is an ideal solution as we open more regional routes and expand frequencies."
