Regional airline FLY91 has placed a landmark order for 40 ATR 72-600 aircraft, valued at approximately $1 billion, to expand its operations across smaller Indian cities.
This deal represents the largest single order for ATR aircraft globally by a regional carrier, signaling a major bet on the growth of India's Tier-2 and Tier-3 aviation market.
The Civil Aviation Ministry has urged aircraft manufacturers to accelerate delivery timelines to support the government's regional connectivity goals and infrastructure development.
