ATR and Guernsey-based Aurigny Air Services today announced the signature of a contract for the purchase of 2 ATR 72-500s, valued at some US $ 37 million.
With the purchase of these two 70-seat latest-generation ATRs, the States of Guernsey-owned airline will increase and update its current fleet of 3 ATR 72-200s. Both aircraft will be delivered in 2010 and will be equipped with the "Elegance" cabin as well as the newest technological innovations in passenger comfort, communications and navigation tools.
Commenting on the announcement, Aurigny Air Services Managing Director Malcolm Hart declared: "We are very satisfied with the service given by our fleet of ATRs since we started flying them in 2003.
We look forward to introduce our new ATR 72-500s as they will offer improved passenger comfort, together with low maintenance costs and outstanding economics. This will enable Aurigny Air Services to guarantee to all our passengers and especially the community of Guernsey a great flight experience at affordable fares."
ATR CEO Stéphane Mayer stated: "We are delighted to see Aurigny Air Services continuing its development with new ATR 72-500s, which is a great mark of appreciation of our products. In addition to the advantages of costs and passenger comfort, the ATR 72 is also the most environmentally friendly aircraft, with the lowest emissions of any 70 seat aircraft."
