NEWS FLASH
Air Serbia will take delivery of its second ATR72-600 aircraft. The turboprop is currently being painted in the carrier’s livery at Montpellier Airport. The plane, registered OE-LKU, is four years old, out of which it has been in operation for only two. It was formerly utilised by Avianca Argentina and Myanmar National Airlines. It will become the second ATR72-600 in Air Serbia’s fleet, with the airline having previously taken delivery of the type in late January. It plans to have a total of five ATR72-600s in its fleet this year, replacing its older ATR72-200s and -500s.

ReplyDeleteOn a more serious note, the faster they arrive the better for JU. These ancient ATRs have become incredibly unreliable and they are messing up their network and connectivity.
Let's hope they take care of their interior so that passenger experience can remain on a satisfactory level. I know some people who flew on the new ATR and they said it was very nice.

DeleteVery good and price?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with them, most crappy and noisy planes ever
ReplyDeleteI have no problem flying ATR during summer, actually it can be quite a nice experience, but in winter, in our climate, I avoid it as much as I can
DeleteIf you step away from flight sim and take an actual flight on a recent -600 you would notice it's nice, fairly quiet, comfy and with plenty of carryon space.

DeleteIf you are referring to the fact ATRs don't use bridges, you are correct. You have to make a couple of steps on the tarmac. But then if you have your own business jet you can't use bridge as well and you also have to make a couple of steps on the tarmac.
I am not speaking about jet bridges. I use to fast walk 12 km on regular basis. Few steps on the tarmac are OK even if raining or snowing. I speak about the issues ATR has, or at least older versions had, with de-icing/surfaces heating, in the air, and cabin heating while on ground, not to mention pretty much serious, very often moderate and getting closer to severe turbulences, due to the lower altitudes plane is flying, which are not felt in summer due to the nice weather but felt very much in winter when the weather is bad
DeleteLuckily BEG doesn't have so many problems with fog but when it comes all ATRs end up going to INI. Don't know if the 600 variant can land in thicker fog.
DeleteWhat's going on with YU-ALY, it hasn't floen for a couple of days already.
