First ATR 42-600 delivered to Precision Air Services

Tanzanian carrier Precision Air Services has taken delivery of the first ATR 42-600 to go into scheduled commercial service. It is also the airline’s first brand new -600 series aircraft out of 5 (4 ATR 42-600s and 1 ATR 72-600) ordered in December 2011. The introduction of these new series airplanes will increase its ATR fleet to 14 aircraft thus making Precision Air Services the largest ATR operator in Africa. The carrier is keen to further develop its regional network, adding new routes and frequencies to its domestic and regional markets.
