Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC) has confirmed the delivery of one ATR 42-500, MSN 581, to Manaus Aerotaxi Participações (MAP) on lease. MAP intends to use the aircraft for an oil and gas contract they were awarded earlier this year. NAC are delighted to welcome MAP as a new customer.
MAP is a domestic airline based in Manaus, Brazil, founded in 2011 and authorized to operate regular and non-regular charter flights within Brazil. MAP was recently acquired by Passaredo Linhas Aéreas, a regional company based in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. Together, the companies currently operate to 35 destinations in all regions of Brazil.
In September 2019, the companies announced the evolution of their trade name to VOEPASS, along with the start of a 158-slot operation at Congonhas Airport, the most coveted airport in Latin America. The companies operate a fleet of ATR 42 and 72 aircraft, and currently employ 900 people, and are projected to carry 1.5 million passengers over the next 12 months.
