SKY Express Adds to ATR Collection

Greek Regional Takes Delivery of ATR 72-600s

Greek regional carrier SKY Express took delivery of the first of 2 ATR 72-600s in December, as part of a pair of aircraft ordered in 2023.

The second is due for delivery in the 2nd quarter of 2024, which will see the SKY Express fleet grow to 8 such aircraft, and 6 ATR-500s in all. They have further plans for growth and expansion in 2024 along the same lines.

“As we continue to grow our regional fleet, we are delighted to operate the youngest ATR fleet in the region and we have commitments for further fleet standardisation and improvement early in Q1 2024," said Captain Konstantinos Iliakis, Chief Executive Officer at SKY Express. "We are offering our passengers comfort and reliability, whilst reducing CO2 emissions and supporting the Greek tourism and economy. An important example of the priority SKY express gives to the environment is our choice to connect the Greek islands and main Greek destinations in a modern and sustainable way with our fleet of ATR 72-600, emitting 45% less CO2 emissions than regional jets, a choice that offers more travel options to/from those regional local communities.”

Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, ATR’s Chief Executive Officer, was happy to get their business once again. “SKY express is, once again, placing its confidence in ATR for the extension of its fleet, investing in the most fuel-efficient, versatile, and cost-effective regional aircraft to open up new opportunities for Greek communities and tourists alike. SKY express’ growth also illustrates the dynamism of the regional market, continuous success of ATR in Europe, and a shared commitment to sustaining essential connectivity whilst tangibly reducing emissions.”
