Aurigny has confirmed it has taken delivery of its fifth ATR 72-600 aircraft.
Before its entry into service for the Guernsey community, the aircraft (OY-NZB), soon to be registered as G-PBOT in honour of Guernsey’s Petit Bot beach, will undergo rigorous checks by Aurigny’s engineering team and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). This is a standard process to ensure airworthiness, safety and regulatory compliance.
The addition of G-PBOT, due to receive its full Aurigny livery in 2025, completes Aurigny’s planned transition to a rationalised fleet, now comprising of five ATR 72-600 aircraft and two Dornier 228 NG.
Nico Bezuidenhout, CEO of Aurigny, said: “This is a positive step forward for Aurigny and for its provision of reliable, sustainable and purposeful air connectivity for the Bailiwick. I’d like to express my thanks to our committed team who have been focused on preparing for this all-important addition to our fleet, as well as our partner Jetstream for their role.”
