ATR, the regional aircraft manufacturer, has signed a global maintenance agreement (GMA) with ATAVIS, Binter’s technical procurement and supply chain arm. The agreement will support 26 ATR 72-600 aircraft operated by CANAIR and NAYSA.
The GMA is ATR’s flagship service programme. It is designed to help airlines concentrate on their main goal – connecting communities safely, reliably, and efficiently. Moreover, it offers flexible and scalable maintenance solutions, both on and off the aircraft. Each plan is tailored to the operator’s needs, whether launching new routes or expanding fleets.
This five-year contract with Binter covers a full repair loop service on a pay-by-hour (PBH) basis. It includes 180-part numbers and follows detailed discussions between the two companies. The aim was to understand Binter’s operational challenges and deliver a maintenance package fully adapted to its requirements.
Through this agreement, Binter becomes part of ATR’s wider GMA community. As a result, the airline will benefit from predictable maintenance costs linked to actual aircraft use. This model helps optimise cash flow and minimise financial risk.
In addition, Binter will gain direct access to ATR’s global network of technical experts and suppliers. This collaboration ensures world-class maintenance practices, improved reliability, and higher operational efficiency.
Furthermore, the deal strengthens Binter’s ability to deliver smooth, dependable regional air services across the Canary Islands. By combining ATR’s engineering know-how with Binter’s operational experience, both companies are reinforcing their commitment to safe and sustainable regional connectivity.
Ultimately, this partnership demonstrates how tailored maintenance solutions can enhance airline performance while supporting long-term growth and stability in regional aviation.
