Afrijet Orders Three ATR72-600 Aircraft

Afrijet (J7), Dubai Airshow, Nov. 16. 2021, ordered three (3) ATR 72-600s powered by the latest generation P&WC engine (from the second aircraft onwards) – to replace part of its ATR 72-500 fleet. The acquisition of brand new aircraft will increase its -600 fleet size to four ATR 72-600, allowing the opening of new routes and increasing frequency.

We need these new ATR aircraft, as creating connectivity in the Gulf of Guinea is vital for the boom in trade and community integration in the CEMAC zone. As an operator in Equatorial Africa, home of the second-largest forest in the world, we are proud to be preparing to invest in a device with a low carbon footprint and a controlled and predictable ecological impact. – Mark Gaffajoli, CEO, Afrijet.
