By replacing its fleet of three ATR 72-500 aircraft with the -600 Series, Aurigny will optimise its operations by acquiring the most efficient regional aircraft. An ATR 72-600 burns up to 40% less fuel and emits 40% less CO2 compared to a regional jet. The Guernsey-based airline will also further benefit from -600 Series\u2019 latest generation Standard 3 avionics suite and is the launch customer for the ClearVision\u2122 Enhanced Vision System (EVS). The EVS will provide pilots with outstanding vision and situational awareness during conditions of reduced visibility. In the cabin, Aurigny\u2019s passengers will also benefit from the -600 Series\u2019 modern Armonia cabin which will introduce the latest standards of comfort, offering more space for luggage in Overhead Bins and providing passengers 18\u201d wide seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aurigny Chief Executive Officer, Mark Darby, said: \u201cWe are sincerely proud of Aurigny\u2019s role in providing essential connectivity between Guernsey and the United Kingdom \u2013 our customers depend on the services that we provide and we want to deliver them the very best. Our ATR fleet has played a key role in that for many years and upgrading our fleet will allow us both to optimise our operations with the very latest avionics while providing our passengers with a modern, comfortable cabin, in which they can relax and enjoy their flight.\u201d<br><br>Stefano Bortoli, Chief Executive Officer of ATR commented: \u201cRegional airlines often have a tough job and it is our role to make sure that we do everything that we can to support them. When an airline upgrades its ATR fleet to the latest generation -600 Series with ClearVision\u2122, it tells us that our platform has a perfect fit with their operations and that they trust us to continue delivering innovations that will make a genuine and positive impact in the future.\u201d<br><br>ATR aircraft provide a lifeline to island communities all over the world. With Guernsey situated in the English Channel, Aurigny deliver essential connectivity to their passengers by linking them to destinations in Great Britain and mainland Europe. An ATR study has shown that the benefit that regional connectivity can bring to communities, with a 10% increase in regional flights leading to a 5% increase in tourism, a 6% increase in regional GDP and an 8% increase in Foreign Direct Investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ATR-smaller.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ATR-smaller.png 1000w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ATR-smaller-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/ATR-smaller-768x512.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ATR, the world number one in the regional aviation market, today delivered the first of three ATR 72-600 aircraft to Aurigny.
