Nordic Aviation to supply Air Serbia with ATR72s

NEWS FLASH

Leasing company Nordic Aviation Capital has confirmed it concluded an agreement with Air Serbia to supply the carrier with three ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft. They will bring Air Serbia’s total fleet of ATR72-600s to ten, enabling it to expand regional operations and bolster frequencies on existing routes. According to previous remarks made by Air Serbia, the aircraft are due for delivery during the first quarter of this year. “The optimal size of the ATR72 fleet, I would say, is ten because then you can start benefiting from some economies of scale. The ATRs perform extremely well; they are extremely profitable. We went through a massive project and completely grounded the ATR72-200s and -500s, replacing them with the -600s instead. We will continue to grow this regional fleet as it is important for higher frequencies and improving hub connectivity and ultimately helps to expand long-haul.”, Air Serbia’s CEO, Jiri Marek, said last year.
