The aircraft, MSN736, will enter service in April as part of a renewed contract with Purolator for services across the Canadian province.
KF Aerospace was awarded the ten year contract in November 2024 for the BC Feeder Network with a fleet renewal of three aircraft.
The ATR 72-500 Bulk Freighter will replace Convair 580s.
Michael Mooney, CEO of ACIA, says, “We welcome KF Aerospace as a new trading partner for ACIA Aero Leasing. The Canadian market continues to present multiple opportunities for the ATR platform across both passenger and cargo requirements and KF is a key player in this market.”
Tracy Medve, President and CEO of KF Aerospace, adds, “Following the awarding of our new air cargo contract, we have committed to a quick turnaround time to implement the fleet renewal. ACIA has provided a quality aircraft that meets our needs in a very short period of time.”
