[UPDATE 18 FEBRUARY] CH-Aviation writes that Nigeria's Aero Contractors (AJ), also known as Aero, have announced plans to add several Bombardier Dash 8-400s to their fleet with an ex-Flybe (BE) Q400 (MSN 4079 | 5N- BPU) currently being painted for Aero at Norwich Airport in the UK.
Other unconfirmed rumours suggest that all AJ's Boeing 737-500s due for expensive maintenance checks will be phased out and replaced with more cost effective Bombardier Q400s.
