First ATR freighter with Amazon registration emerges

According to Airways Magazine, the early-July arrival of an ATR72 freighter marked the third ATR turboprop for Amazon Air.

This third aircraft came from Aurigny Air Services in an all-economy passenger configuration, previously registered as G-VZON. The airline was previously set up to transport 72 passengers. However, after its time with Aurigny, it was then converted to a freighter for Amazon in July 2021. Bearing MSN-853 and registration N919AZ, the 12-and-a-half-year-old aircraft’s new designation as a freighter is an ATR 72-500F.
