Avation Firms Five More ATR 72-600s for 2028–2029 Delivery
The conversion builds Avation’s late‑decade delivery pipeline under its long‑running framework with ATR.
Overview
- The five exercised purchase rights lift Avation’s total ATR commitments to 54 aircraft.
- Avation reports 27 ATR turboprops currently in service with airlines across multiple regions.
- The orders trace back to a 2011 framework agreement that Avation has progressively drawn on.
- A May 2024 amendment added 10 firm ATR 72-600s and 24 options exercisable before 2034, extending the pipeline.
- ATR’s chief commercial officer has emphasized maintaining a balance between lessor commitments and direct airline orders.
