Russia's Taimyr Airlines (NordStar Airlines)has taken delivery
of its first ATR 42-500, of a total order for 4 firm aircraft, plus
3 options placed in 2010. ATR and the airline announced the

The 46-seat ATR 42-500, equipped with PW127M engines, will also
be fitted with additional features to facilitate operations in
Siberia and Russian Far North (ETOPS 120 minutes, operations down
to - 45°C, special fuselage protection).
"After evaluating the range of available options for our new
operations out of Krasnoyarsk, we have selected the ATR 42-500 to
complement our B737NG fleet as it is the best suited for operations
in the tough climatic conditions and airport infrastructure of
Siberia and Russian Far North," said Kirill Buryy, General Director
of Taimyr Airlines (NordStar Airlines). "Our new ATR 42-500 will
allow us to operate a highly reliable service with the lowest
operating costs of its category. The ATR 42-500 will burn 40% less
fuel than the An-24s currently in operation within Krasnoyarsk
region while cutting flight time. With the introduction of this new
aircraft, Taimyr Airlines (NordStar Airlines) will offer
Krasnoyarsk Region residents new air travel options at the highest
standard of safety and comfort but at affordable fares."
"We are proud that one of the most dynamic and innovative
Russian carriers, Taimyr Airlines (NordStar Airlines), has selected
the ATR 42-500 as backbone of their new regional fleet," said
Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive Officer of ATR. "Our aircraft has
the level of performance, reliability and economic efficiency that
are needed for Taimyr Airlines (NordStar Airlines) to achieve its
ambitious goals. We also look forward to further develop the ATR
fleet in the high-growth Russian Federation market, one of the most
promising in the world."
