Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The delivery raises Air Moana's ATR 72‑600 fleet to three aircraft, immediately increasing scheduled capacity on key inter‑island routes to Bora Bora, Moorea and Huahine and supporting domestic connectivity amid local market changes; it follows a recent ruling that voided $15M in state aid for Air Moana.

  • The handover underscores ongoing demand for ATR 72‑600 turboprops among regional carriers and lessors, aligning with broader ATR market activity including recent fleet deals and order conversions by SUM Air and Avation.
