Australia’s Qantas Airways has signed its expected order for 12 more Bombardier Q400s, becoming the first airline to order the aircraft since a series of incidents at SAS brought the regional turboprop’s safety under scrutiny.

On behalf of its QantasLink regional airline, Qantas has signed a firm order for 12 Q400s, valued at $339 million, and taken options and purchase rights on an additional 24 aircraft. QantasLink already operates seven Q400s, with two more from a previous order to be delivered in January 2008.
