Indian Carrier Expands Regional Network Amid Growing Demand

Indian regional carrier FLY91 has placed a firm order for 40 ATR 72-600 aircraft, valued at around $1 billion, marking the largest ATR order in nearly a decade. The deal reflects FLY91’s confidence in India’s untapped regional market, where only around 3% of intercity journeys are currently made by air. Deliveries are scheduled between 2027 and 2032, and will grow the airline’s fleet from six to 60 aircraft. This investment is seen as a catalyst for FLY91’s next phase of expansion, with the ATR 72-600 offering ideal operating economics for the airline’s network, as reported by AeroTime.
