The first Dash 8-Q400 out of a total of four such planes commissioned by Croatia Airlines from Canada's Bombardier Aerospace landed at Split airport on Monday.
Dash 8-Q400 aircraft will replace the existing fleet of short-range planes of the Croatian air carrier.
The delivery was made under an agreement Croatia Airlines signed with Bombardier Aerospace on 31 May 2007.
The delivery of the next Dash 8-Q400 is expected in a month's time.
Currently, the Croatia Airlines fleet consists of 11 planes - four Airbus A319, four Airbus A320, two ATR42 and one Dash 8-Q400. (Hina)
