ATR: AIR DUBAI AIR SHOW NE

 

TAROM orders ATR72-600s

During the Dubai Air Show, ATR announced that it has signed a firm order with TAROM for three ATR72-600s. The three additional aircraft will be used to replace older ATR42/72-500s in the fleet and will take the total ATR72-600s to seven.

This order is, however, not really a new order, as the airline announced in 2019 it signed a lease-agreement with Nordic Aviation Capital for nine ATR72-600s. Of this deal, TAROM took delivery of four ATR72-600s and decided to cancel the commitment to five more due to the Corona-pandemic. Now, it seems they will source the three aircraft directly from ATR as part of the lease-cancellation.

Binter orders additional ATR72-600s

ATR and Binter announced during the Dubai Air Show that they signed an order for four additional ATR72-600s. The company also secured an option on one more ATR72. With this order, Binter has ordered a total of 23 ATR72-600s.

Bestfly leases additional aircraft

During the Dubai Air Show, lessor ACIA Aero and Bestfly announced the companies signed a lease-agreement for one additional ATR72-600 and an ERJ190. Bestfly also said they plan to lease four more ERJ190s with the lessor in 2022.

Bestfly is Angola's largest private air company, operating a fleet of bizjets, as well as two ATR72-600s. Recently, it also started-up Bestfly Cape Verde, which is also flying an ATR72-600. The additional aircraft will be used to expand its operations, both in Angola as well as Cape Verde.
