Turboprop lessor Abelo has confirmed three additional ATR 72-600 options from its agreement signed at the Dubai Airshow in 2023.
With these options now exercised, Abelo’s total firm orders stand at 36 aircraft, with a further nine options and purchase rights remaining. Deliveries are scheduled for 2027, supporting the lessor’s growth and its mission to provide sustainable, cost-effective connectivity.
Abelo has made strong progress with its order book, with around a third of its firm commitments either placed or delivered. The company has also expanded its global footprint, working with airlines including SKY Express and Aegean in Greece, and SATENA in Colombia. Earlier this year, Abelo also supplied Ethiopian Airlines with two new ATR turboprops.
Steve Gorman, Chief Executive Officer of Abelo, said: “Our decision to confirm these additional ATR 72-600s reflects our confidence in the ATR asset and its relevance for regional operators worldwide. These aircraft will enable us to continue offering our airline partners the most efficient and environmentally responsible solutions, while maintaining strategically important delivery slots over the next three years.”
