Taiwan's UNI AIR, a
regional subsidiary of EVA AIR, will be the first carrier in Asia to operate
the ATR 72-600. It is expected to officially enter into service on October
11th, with a first commercial domestic flight from Taipei to Taidong.
With
the introduction of its new fleet of 10 ATR 72-600s, UNI AIR
will progressively replace its fleet of Dash 8 Q-300s turboprops.
The
ATR 72-600 received its EASA-certification in May 2011, becoming the world's
most-recently certified 70-seat regional aircraft. Among other improvements, it
features the most modern avionics suite, equipped with full-glass cockpit
specifically developed for ATR by Thales, and totally redesigned cabin
interiors, by Italian designer Giugiaro.
Filippo
Bagnato, CEO of ATR, said: "The arrival of the very first ATR 72-600 in
Asia is also a milestone for ATR. In the last years,.....We are pleased to
strongly contribute to the expansion of regional aviation in Asia with our
green and most modern ATR -600s”.
