Kenyan operator Renegade Air, turboprop lessor Abelo and ATR have introduced the first ever ATR-500 aircraft in Kenya.
“Our new ATR -500 cargo aircraft will be a game-changer in our fleet, bolstering our ability to provide timely and efficient air cargo services to our customers,” said Tasneem Kaderbhai, commercial manager for Renegade Air.
Kaderbhai continued: “This strategic addition underscores our commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the market, supported by two ideal partners: Abelo and ATR. This move further solidifies our position as a key player in the air cargo industry in Kenya.”
The ATR -500, leased from Abelo, has been converted into a cargo configuration to meet the specific needs of Renegade Air’s operations.
Michael Chassot, sales director EMEA at ATR noted: “Renegade Air’s selection of the ATR -500 marks both the continuation of a successful partnership with Abelo and ATR’s comeback to Kenya – a market ATR has strong ambitions for. ATR aircraft are the ideal candidates to replace ageing fleets."
