BIRMINGHAM, England (Jan. 3, 2011)—Dunlop Aircraft Tyres Ltd. said it has secured a contract to supply tires to a Spanish airline.
The company said it will provide nosewheel and mainwheel tires to Air Nostrum's new fleet of Bombardier CRJ1000 Next Gen regional jets.
Air Nostrum, based in Valencia, Spain, operates as a franchise of Iberia Airlines and has 20 of the new aircraft on order, with options on a further 15. This will be the largest fleet of CRJ1000s in the world and Air Nostrum will take delivery of its first aircraft later this month, Dunlop Aircraft said.
