The Canadian airline’s first ATR will start operations in December and serve multiple contracts throughout Canada.
The aircraft, MSN727, was converted into a bulk freighter in 2021 and was upgraded with an LCD by Empire Aerospace in Idaho, USA.
Mark Dunnachie, SVP Commercial at ACIA Aero Leasing, says, “We welcome Air Creebec as a new customer and are delighted they approached ACIA Aero Leasing for their first ATR. The Canadian market represents multiple opportunities for the ATR platform across both passenger and cargo requirements and we see strong potential to further strengthen our customer base in this key market.”
Tanya Pash, President and CEO of Air Creebec, adds, “As the main airline in our region, Air Creebec needs to provide innovative solutions to our vast variety of clients. With our new LCD ATR72-500 from ACIA, we are proud to be the pioneer and leader in cargo transportation in our area and are very excited to further develop our expertise.”
