Berjaya Hotels & Resorts acquiring ATR 42-500s

Berjaya Hotels & Resorts will be acquiring two pre-owned ATR 42-500 aircraft that it plans to use to launch air services to the Malaysian island of Redang, where the hotel group has two resorts. Berjaya Hotels & Resorts’ decision to buy ATR 42-500s is testimony to the versatility of the ATR 42. The turboprop manufacturer sees a renewed interest in Asia Pacific and around the world for the ATR 42 as it is the right size aircraft for some operators. The upcoming launch of air services from Kuala Lumpur’s Subang Airport to Redang Island will be a further example of how ATR aircraft can help to boost regional air connectivity and economic development.
