Alliance Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of Air India Limited, has signed long-term lease agreements for 10 ATR 72-600 aircraft with Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd.
The aircraft are scheduled to deliver throughout 2017 and will be used to grow Alliance’s network and to serve underserved or unserved airports throughout India as part of the Indian Government’s focus on regional air access through the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS).
Alliance Air began inducting new ATR72 aircraft in December 2014 to fuel it's ambitious regional expansion programme. It also offers the lowest fuel-burn and seat mile cost on its segment. The aircraft is fitted with Pratt & Whitney 127M engines, and features a full-glass cockpit with the most modern navigation aid tools.
