SINGAPORE -- Thailand’s airline Bangkok Airways and ATR have signed a contract for the purchase of four additional ATR 72-600s.
The deal is valued at over $100 million and will enable the airline to continue the modernization and harmonization of its regional fleet around the ATR 72-600.
Bangkok Airways currently operates a fleet of 15 ATR aircraft, including nine ATR 72-600s and six ATR 72-500s that are being progressively replaced with the introduction of new aircraft. Deliveries of these four additional aircraft, each configured with 70 seats, will take place between October 2018 and March 2019. Bangkok Airways, Asia’s Boutique Airline, has been operating ATR aircraft for over two decades. In recent years, the airline has expanded the size of its fleet and increased frequency across its domestic and regional network.
