Wasaya's new Dash 8 aircraft is a good fit for the regional airline's fleet, offering better service to Wasaya's passengers, the company's board chairman said Wednesday. And, Wasaya board chairman Adam Fiddler said, the Dash-8 figures big in the airline's future. Fiddler said Wasaya plans to increase its use of the Dash-8 aircraft, and intends to purchase more over the next few years. "It's expensive to train staff, to train pilots, maintenance, engineers, to get parts, spare parts, for five different aircraft." Fiddler said Wasaya intends to streamline the fleet so it only includes Dash 8 and PC 12 aircraft within five years.
