Regional aircraft manufacturer ATR announced thursday that it has signed with Avation PLC (a Singapore-based lessor) an order for 10 ATR 72-600s. Deliveries are scheduled between 2025 and 2028. The agreement is further complemented by 24 purchase rights, extending until 2034.
Emitting 45% less CO2 per trip than similar-size regional jets, ATR aircraft are already 50% SAF compatible, with the aim to be 100% SAF ready in 2025.

“Over the years, we have witnessed the exceptional performance of ATR aircraft, and enjoyed both strong airline demand and secondary market value retention. Avation believes that over the next 10 years, low CO2, SAF compatible, latest technology aircraft such as the ATR 72, and potentially its EVO successor, will be an essential component for efficient travel worldwide”, Jeff Chatfield, Executive Chairman of Avation PLC, said.
“The continued trust from a longstanding customer is the best recognition of our efforts to remain relevant over the years, through continuous innovation. This agreement not only reinforces our collaboration with Avation, it also reflects the strong market demand for ATR aircraft”, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, said.
