TrueNoord Leases 2 Dash 8-400s to Wideroe

  • "We are very pleased to welcome Norway's oldest aviation group to our expanding European lessee family" Michael Adams, Sales Director Europe, TrueNoord.

TrueNoord has leased two De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft to Norwegian airline, Widerøe’s Flyveselskap AS. The two 2013 vintage aircraft, MSN 4439/4448, are on an operating lease and formed part of TrueNoord’s latest portfolio acquisition from NAC.

The novation of these aircraft is TrueNoord’s first transaction in Norway and increases the lessor’s footprint across the Nordic region in terms of aircraft and carriers. “Turboprops continue to play a vital role in connecting remote communities through the right sizing of capacity to meet demand, their inherent reliability, and operating cost benefits,” says Michael Adams, Sales Director Europe. “TrueNoord is delighted to add Widerøe as a customer, expanding our Dash 8-400 portfolio with the Nordic region’s largest operator of regional aircraft.”

Widerøe is the oldest Norwegian aviation group with 3,500 dedicated employees and operates flights to 49 destinations in Norway and Europe. As a provider of essential public transportation in rural Norway, Widerøe’s flights play a significant role in supporting businesses, healthcare, education, tourism, and culture. For more than 90 years, Widerøe’s operations have enabled people to live and thrive along the extensive Norwegian coastline.
