Ireland-based regional aircraft lessor, Abelo, has converted an initial order for 10 ATR 42 short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft to a mix of five ATR42-600 and five ATR72-600 and has additionally firmed up an order for three ATR 72-600.<\/p>\n
Abelo\u2019s decision, which was finalised in late 2024 and builds on an agreement made during the Dubai Airshow in 2023, underlines interest from the regional aviation market for the 50-seater turboprop segment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis fleet expansion underscores our shared vision of enhancing regional connectivity and providing top-tier air transportation solutions to passengers across diverse networks,\u201d said ATR\u2019s CEO, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude. \u201cThese additional ATR 42s and 72s will enable Abelo to continue matching aircraft demand efficiently, leveraging the industry\u2019s most cost-effective regional aircraft while promoting the transition towards responsible aviation,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Abelo offers a range of services, including aircraft leasing (primarily turboprops such as ATR and Dash 8 models), fleet management and remarketing. The company\u2019s portfolio is tailored to regional and short-haul operators, making it a significant player in the regional aviation sector.<\/p>\n
ATR\u2019s focus on the intrinsic efficiency of turboprop technology and its claim to emitting 45% less CO2<\/sub>\u00a0than similar-sized regional jets, make it an ideal option for Abelo to demonstrate how it is embracing innovation and sustainability. \u201cBy diversifying our fleet with ATR 42-600 and 72-600 aircraft and adding three new ATR 72-600, we continue to provide our customers with exceptional performance, reduced emissions and enhanced passenger comfort,\u201d concluded Stephen Gorman, CEO at Abelo.<\/p>\n \u201cThis investment strengthens our ability to meet the evolving needs of regional aviation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ireland-based regional aircraft lessor, Abelo, has converted an initial order for 10 ATR 42 short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft to a mix of five ATR42-600 and five ATR72-600 and has additionally firmed up an order for three ATR 72-600.
