Gabonese airline Afrijet has signed a firm order for one ATR 42-600 aircraft, with an option for one more.
The new aircraft will replace Afrijet’s former generation ATR 42-500, with Afrijet set to operate the aircraft under the livery of the newly formed airline FlyGabon.
“The acquisition of this ATR 42-600 represents a significant step forward in FlyGabon’s fleet development. The aircraft will replace Afrijet’s ATR 42-500, currently under maintenance and scheduled to leave the fleet next year,” said Nyl Moret-Mba, Afrijet’s general manager.
Moret-Mba added: “Equipped with 46 seats and cutting-edge technologies, we firmly believe that we have selected the most suitable aircraft model to address the unique demands of passenger traffic and to align with the airport infrastructure across our provinces.”
