  • The refit signals continued investment in in-service aircraft rather than near-term fleet replacement, making maintenance and configuration planning a near-term operational priority.
  • For industry stakeholders, the move is another data point on how carriers are using turboprops beyond schedule efficiency—by improving the onboard product.
