  • Aegean/Olympic Air has expanded its regional turboprop fleet to 15 aircraft (12 ATR72-600, 3 ATR42-600) with two further ATR 72-600s due by December 2026, a concrete fleet investment that affects short‑haul capacity and regional connectivity.

  • The order reinforces demand for the ATR 72-600 platform at a time when ATR is promoting upgraded turboprops and pursuing next‑generation propulsion work, including EU‑backed hybrid‑electric projects (see ATR’s push into upgraded turboprops and its role in EU Clean Aviation initiatives).
