Long-time ATR customer Air Tahiti has signed a new purchase agreement with the Franco-Italian turboprop manufacturer for four ATR 72-600 aircraft. Deliveries of the twin turboprops are scheduled between 2025 and 2028, supporting the airline’s planned flight frequency and capacity expansion.
Air Tahiti has been deploying ATR aircraft for nearly 40 years to provide essential connectivity to communities in Tahiti and its islands. The airline currently operates a fleet of 11 aircraft, comprising nine ATR 72-600s and two ATR 42-600s.
“Air Tahiti has been a cornerstone in Tahiti and its islands for more than 65 years, facilitating not just travel but a better quality of life. By ensuring our communities have easy access to essential goods, services, and cultural experiences, we've also helped boost the local economy and tourism,” said Air Tahiti CEO Edouard Wong Fat. “The ATR fleet has been pivotal in these efforts and it will continue to enable us to offer reliable and responsible connectivity.”
