FLEET - CVsky, Avation ink ATR72-600 lease


 Cabo Verde's state-owned domestic carrier Linhas Aéreas de Cabo Verde (LACV), trading as CVsky (7B, Praia), has added a new ATR72-600 to its fleet under a 12-year operating lease with Singapore-based Avation, the parties confirmed in separate statements.

The deal marks the lessor's entry into the African market, Avation said, adding that the lease is backed by a sovereign guarantee from the Cabo Verde government. The aircraft, msn 1829, was handed over to CVsky at ATR - Avions de Transport Régional's production facility in Toulouse on October 7, it said. It is already registered in Cabo Verde as D4-CCP, according to ch-aviation data.

CVsky, in a separate statement carried by Portuguese news agency Lusa, said the turboprop would undergo preparation before being flown to Cabo Verde, where it is expected to arrive at the end of October.

The lease follows the government's September 29 approval of a sovereign guarantee of up to USD3.7 million for the aircraft. The guarantee runs for eight years, while the lease with Avation-linked AVAP Leasing (Atlantic) Pte. Ltd. covers 144 months.

The deal is the first phase of a planned two-aircraft fleet expansion. A second ATR72-600, msn 1830, is expected from early 2027, subject to a separate government guarantee.

CVsky already operates two ATR72-600s and wet leases one ATR72-500 from Global Aviation (Mauritania) (MSS, Nouakchott).

Airbus lands as HV010 at new home base in Rotterdam
On Wednesday, September 30, Transavia assigned a permanent base to an Airbus at Rotterdam The Hague Airport for the first time. Around 9:00 PM, the aircraft, with registration PH-YHR, landed at its new home base as flight HV010. An arrival with a Rotterdam touch: both the registration and the flight number refer to the city. The letter R in PH-YHR and HV010, the area code for Rotterdam.
It is the first Airbus aircraft to be permanently stationed at Rotterdam The Hague Airport. The Rotterdam fleet thus consists of seven aircraft: one Airbus and six Boeing 737s. In the coming years, all Boeing 737s will make way for the new generation of Airbus aircraft.
With the arrival of the Airbus, Transavia is taking another step in fleet renewal. The aircraft are quieter, more fuel-efficient, and emit less CO₂ per passenger on average than the Boeing 737s they are gradually replacing.
Rotterdam has played an important role within the network since Transavia's founding . Since 2000, the airline has had a home base there with a permanent fleet and local staff. From Rotterdam, Transavia transports approximately 2 million passengers annually to 31 destinations, and around 350 employees are based at the airport.
The arrival of the Airbus underscores that role. Not only today, but also in the future of the Rotterdam base.
