  • HAC Takes Delivery of First ATR 42-600
    HAC Takes Delivery of First ATR 42-600 Japanese regional operator starts fleet replacement with eco-responsible turboprop aircraft Toulouse, 17 December, 2019 – World number one regional aircraft manufacturer ATR today delivered the first of two ATR 42-600 aircraft to Hokkaido Air System Co., Ltd (HAC), a JAL Group Company. This delivery marks the first step in HAC’s replacement of its Saab 340 fleet. The delivery of this aircraft will ensure that essential regional air connectivity in Hokkaido can continue. The ATR 42-600 will offer HAC increased capacity for the same operating costs – generating opportunities for the airline to increase revenues. It will also provide HAC’s passengers with a modern, comfortable cabin featuring latest generation 18”-wide seats as well as more space for luggage in the overhead bins. Tetsu Ohori, Chief Executive Officer of HAC said: “Today is a long-awaited day for us at Hokkaido Air System, and becomes a memorable day, marking a new chapter in our history. We have so many tourists who enjoy the fantastic ‘Mother Nature’ of Hokkaido. In winter, the great nature turns her face with severe cold and heavy snow. Even under such hard conditions, this ATR 42 will perform well and make our new business a success. I'm really looking forward to showing this wonderful aircraft to everyone in Hokkaido as soon as possible.” ATR Chief Executive Officer Stefano Bortoli remarked: “Our aircraft makes perfect sense for the Japanese market. Japanese passengers, who are known to demand the very best in terms of comfort and eco- responsibility, will appreciate both the aircraft’s reduced emissions and modern comfortable cabin.

ATR has opened a representative office in Tokyo as it seeks to expand its foothold in the Japanese market. © 2015-2021 50SKYSHADES.COM — Reproduction, copying, or redistribution for commercial purposes is prohibited. 1 “We are delighted to enter such a major market, one of the few Asian countries where ATR had not flown before,” ATR CEO Patrick de Castelbajac said as the aircraft was handed over in Toulouse. “Japan, which has a fleet of almost 100 regional aircraft, including some 50 aging turboprops, provides us outstanding commercial opportunities.” The regional carrier is based in Amakusa, which lies on a small island off the west coast of Kyushu, the most southwesterly of the four main islands that constitute the Japanese mainland. It operates scheduled regional services from Amakusa to cities such as Kumamoto, Fukuoka and Osaka. Amakusa Airlines will use the 48-seat ATR 42-600 to replace its Bombardier Dash 8-100. It has purchased the 48-seat ATR 42-600 from Denmark-based Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC), the industry’s largest turboprop lessor. “We have a high level of confidence in the potential of the smaller ATR -600 series as airlines around the world look to replace aging equivalent-sized aircraft, and when they look for a successor as they look to upgrade from smaller capacity aircraft,” NAC chairman Martin Møller said.
