Default Dash-8's to Kenya
It seems that the ex QantasLink/Eastern/Sunstate Dash-8s (VH-TQN,TQQ,TQT,TQV) have been sold to Kenya.

Does anyone know where they are going and new regos etc ?

Greg

Hi Greg,

Wasn't they sold to a South African Company? I believe they will be leased out?

I bet Stan from Skippers is rather annoyed at the situation. I believe that he had put a bid in for 2 of them.
