In a strategic move towards fleet modernization, the Spanish airline Binter has taken a significant step by replacing four of its ATR 72-600 aircraft with new models equipped with advanced PW127XT engines. This firm order, placed at the end of 2024, also includes five additional options for future fleet renewals.
A New Chapter in the Binter-ATR Partnership
This advancement reinforces the strong relationship between Binter and the manufacturer ATR, which has been consolidated over the years.
