Binter Orders Six More ATR 72-600s

Spain's Canary Islands airline Binter has signed an agreement for the purchase of six additional new ATR 72-600 aircraft.

The order follows its first batch for six ATR 72-600s in February 2014, bringing total orders for ATR aircraft to thirty.

Deliveries of the 72-seat ATR-600 aircraft commence this year and will be completed by 2017. Binter currently operates a fleet of 16 ATR 72-500s.

“For nearly two decades, the ATR have proven to be the right choice for Binter's inter-island operations,” said Alfredo Morales, Binter Executive Member of the Board. “This additional ATR order underpins our strategic objectives on quality and operational economics. Superior comfort levels are guaranteed through the new Armonia cabin, enhancing customer satisfaction. That is our top priority.”
