“Our ATR 72-600s are an integral part of Air New Zealand’s domestic network. Due to New Zealand’s short range, highly connected network, the ATR aircraft are perfect in keeping Kiwis connected across the 20 ports we fly between”, Air New Zealand’s General Manager of Fleet Strategy and Delivery, Baden Smith said.
“ATR’s relationship with Air New Zealand is invaluable. Over the years, we have grown, innovated and pushed the boundaries of regional air transport togethe”, Alexis Vidal, ATR’s SVP Commercial said.
