Silver Airlines bestiller 20 (+30) ATR-42

[Someone]

Silver Airlines, som fly regionale ruter i Florida med Saab 340, bytter ut sine aldrene maskiner, når det nå bestiller nye ATR-42-600 maskiner. 20 i ordre, samt 30 opsjoner, med muligheter for å bytte til den større ATR-72-600.

Dette markerer et lite comeback for ATR i USA, som vel ikke har solgt noen av -600 serien sin der, og vel ikke har solgt noe særlig der på 20 år

Silver announced today a historic agreement by signing a letter of intent to renew and expand its fleet with up to 50 new ATR-600 series aircraft. This is a significant strategic accomplishment for the airline and a transaction valued at up to $1.1 billion. The initial order is for 20 ATR-42-600 aircraft and the agreement also provides Silver the ability to upgauge to the larger series ATR-72-600s. With this deal, Silver becomes the first fully independent U.S. regional airline in more than 20 years to sign a new aircraft deal of this magnitude
