Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) has signed an agreement with FLY91 for the lease of two ATR 72-600 aircraft. These planes are set to be delivered in 2024 and will mark the initial additions to FLY91’s fleet.
FLY91, a regional carrier, aims to improve air connectivity from smaller towns in India, specifically tier 2 and tier 3 cities. Founded by industry veterans with solid financial backing, the airline strives to make air travel accessible to every Indian. The carrier’s choice of the ATR 72-600 fleet aligns with its goal of efficient and sustainable operations from most regional airports in the country.
Manoj Chacko, Chief Executive Officer of FLY91, added, “India’s aviation sector is expanding at an unprecedented rate, and FLY91 is proud to be part of this growth story. We are firmly committed to the country’s development through last-mile air connectivity, aiming to serve the unserved and under-served cities in India. As we prepare for take-off, our focus is to provide safe, reliable, and comfortable flights to our customers. We are thrilled to partner with DAE on this exciting journey and are thankful for their reaffirmation of FLY91’s vision for strengthening regional aviation in India.”
Currently, DAE owns and manages a total of 66 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
