Avation sells ATR 72-600 aircraft to Caribbean airline, boosting cash flow

Avation PLC (LON: AVAP), the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, has announced the concurrent delivery and sale of a new ATR 72-600 aircraft. This aircraft is new ex-factory Toulouse and is the first of a series of two sold to an airline in the Caribbean region.  The profitable sale of this aircraft releases around US$5 million in cash which will primarily be reinvested into pre-delivery payment instalments for the Company’s order for ten ATR 72-600 aircraft which was announced in May 2024. 

Jeff Chatfield, Executive Chairman of Avation PLC, said: “The Company is pleased to have closed this profitable sale, which is a further demonstration of the continued strength in the market for ATR turboprop aircraft. Avation is primarily an aircraft operating lessor but was willing to sell this aircraft, in this instance, due to the attractive economics of the transaction.”
