InterSky receives first ATR 72-600

InterSky took delivery (08-Jan-2013) of its first ATR 72-600 aircraft ordered in 2012. This is also the first ATR aircraft that will fly in the livery of an Austrian airline. The second ATR 72-600 ordered by InterSky is scheduled for delivery in Mar-2013, with the aircraft entering service on routes to key regional destinations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The aircraft has capacity for 70 passengers. With the introduction of these two new ATR 72-600s, InterSky should almost double the seat capacity of its fleet, which currently consists of three 50-seat turboprop aircraft. "We are very much looking forward to the first 70-seater in our fleet. The fact that it is an ATR makes us very proud as InterSky is the first ATR operator in Austria," said Intersky MD Peter Oncken.
