LONDON (Alliance News) - Avation PLC Thursday said it has delivered a new ATR72-600 aircraft to be operated by UK commercial airline Flybe.
The commercial passenger aircraft leasing company said that the delivery is the first of a series of new ATR72-600 aircraft to be delivered to Flybe during the course of 2015 and early 2016. The initial lease duration is six years, with client options for further term extensions.
"We are satisfied with the financial outcome of owning over 20 ATRs we have flying today in the liveries of several airlines in a variety of countries and environments. We are pleased to be associated with two major European aviation operators like Flybe and SAS, and we are confident that the introduction of these new ATR72-600s may bring us additional opportunities to place additional new ATRs in Europe as airlines start replacing their earlier generation aircraft," Chairman Jeff Chatfield said in a statement.
