Fly91 Eyes 20+ ATR Planes for Expansion
31 Aug
Summary
- Fly91 is nearing an order for at least 20 turboprop aircraft.
- The deal signifies a significant investment in India's regional aviation.
- The order aims to expand Fly91's fleet to serve more cities.
Indian regional carrier Fly91 is reportedly close to finalizing an order for a minimum of 20 turboprop aircraft from ATR. This potential deal underscores a significant investment in India's expanding regional aviation sector.
The move by Fly91 comes as the Indian government actively works to integrate numerous smaller cities into the nation's air connectivity network through subsidized schemes. However, the path for regional airlines has been challenging, with several struggling to achieve financial viability.
While a spokesperson for ATR declined to comment, and Fly91 had not yet responded to requests for comment as of August 31, 2026, the impending order suggests a strategic expansion for the airline.
