Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The wet-lease is a short-term capacity response while Croatia Airlines navigates financial strain and a recent €156m government recapitalisation (context: source:5f4e2b1b-cecd-475a-ab82-c6af92d18cd9).
  • It signals near-term demand pressure on ATR turboprops and the leasing market amid constrained production and deliveries — ATR delivered 32 aircraft in 2025 as supply‑chain limits persisted (context: source:d98b1cbd-3b01-4045-841b-de8cbf4a3a64).
