ATR 42-320 Paves The Way For Longer-Haul Routes

Sunrise Airways has announced that it will expand its fleet with the addition of a new 46-seat ATR 42-320 aircraft. The airline expects to accept delivery of the new ATR in late-February 2016 in advance of launching new routes better serving a wider swath of the Western Caribbean from its hub in Port-au-Prince.

“Bringing an ATR into the Sunrise fold represents a bright new beginning for our airline; one that will see us branching out swiftly to serve longer-haul routes connecting more of the Western Caribbean more effectively than ever before,” said Philippe Bayard, President of Sunrise Airways.
 
From its hub in Port-au-Prince, Sunrise Airways currently operates regularly scheduled service to/from Santo Domingo (JBQ), Santiago de Cuba (SCU), and Cap Haitien (CAP) utilizing 19-seat Jetstream 32 EP aircraft.
 
“This fleet expansion is really all about our passengers, many of whom have long expressed an interest in having us spread our wings further afield,” added Bayard. “Havana, Camaguey, Kingston, Nassau, a return of the service to Turks and Caicos – the demand is strong for these and several other attractive regional gateways. Now, with the added size, comfort, and luggage capacity afforded by the ATR, we can look to serving routes like these with the same uncompromising style, safety, and reliability that our passengers have come to expect from Sunrise.”
