“ With this integration, the operational fleet starts counting on three aircraft online, immediately, anticipating the planned expansion to four aircraft from January”, announced in a statement.
The country will have an alternate plane for “integral protection of the network”, he explained.
The latest ATR 72-60 aircraft will now be integrated into the fleet, following the final stage of the certification process.
