Binter Orders Six ATR 72-600s

Binter, a Spanish airline, has signed an agreement to buy six additional ATR 72-600s, taking their total order for the aircraft to eighteen.

The new aircraft will serve Binter’s Canary Islands network, and will contribute to the fleet renewal process that the airline commenced two years ago with the purchase of the first six ATR 72-600s.

Binter has already received four ATR 72-600s, and with the replacement of their remaining 14 ATR 72-500s will bring the most modern standards of comfort to its operations across the archipelago.

In addition to the introduction of the new ATRs, the airline’s subsidiary in Cape Verde, Binter CV, is starting operations this month with ATR 72-500s.

Pedro Agustin del Castillo, President of Binter, said, “The ATR 72-600, which features navigation systems as those of the most modern Airbus large aircraft, is the most versatile and fuel-efficient aircraft in its category today. It is clearly the best aircraft to continue modernising our fleet, optimising our network, and ensuring future growth opportunities. Our new order further reaffirms Binter’s commitment to the long-term development of affordable air transportation.”
