Air Serbia takes delivery of ATR72-600

NEWS FLASH


Air Serbia has taken delivery of its second of five ATR72-600 turboprop aircraft (pictured). Over the weekend, YU-ALW arrived from Montpellier to Belgrade. It is expected to enter commercial service soon. The turboprop boasts the new “Prestige” seats manufactured by Italy’s Geven. The leather slim seats, which have enabled the carrier to increase its capacity on the aircraft to 72, provide baseline features such as recline, a high literature pocket and eighteen inches in width. Furthermore, in contrast to the majority of the existing turboprop fleet, the ATR72-600s also enable passengers to store large roller bags in the overhead bins. YU-ALW is four years old, of which it has been in operation for only two. It was formerly utilised by Avianca Argentina and Myanmar National Airlines. The next ATR72-600 will be added to Air Serbia’s fleet next month and will be registered YU-ALX.

    Good, yesterday they cancelled Venice and Vienna because their ancient ATR broke down.

    Quite a globetrotting life it has had thus far. Does anyone know how these can be ferried across the oceans? I could imagine rom the Americas to Europe via Canada and then Iceland/Ireland I presume, but what about the Pacific?

      It's very rare but it can be done via Alaska and Russia.

      Also auxillary fuel tanks can be quickly installed I think. There was a JustPlanes video about a delivery of ATR600 to Brazil, I think to Azul, you might want to check it out. :)

    Hello! Does anyone know which ATRs are in line to leave the fleet? The 200s or the 500s? Thanks.

    Much needed, recently had a flight on one of their 72-500 and it looked quite worn out

    It appears that all 5 new ATR 72-600 will still remain in YU-AL* range. We have ALY, ALW, ALX confirmed and there is space for ALQ, and ALZ.
