“Following the successful delivery of an ATR72-600 earlier in 2021, we welcome the opportunity to further develop our relationship with Silver Airways through the leasing of these brand-new aircraft” Garry Topp, Sales Director - Americas, TrueNoord

Amsterdam/Dublin/London/Singapore: 18th January 2022. TrueNoord, the specialist regional aircraft lessor, has delivered two new ATR42-600s to existing lessee Silver Airways. The aircraft join the ATR72-600 delivered to Silver in May 2021, increasing TrueNoord’s portfolio with the American passenger and cargo regional carrier to three aircraft.

Garry Topp, TrueNoord Sales Director – Americas, comments: “It is very encouraging to be involved in the recovery of the US market and supporting Silver Airways’ ATR fleet expansion plans with two new deliveries. The placement of these aircraft increases TrueNoord’s North American footprint and we look forward to further developing our activity in the region this year. This also marks the first ATR42-600s in the TrueNoord fleet and we are enthusiastic about acquiring more of these modern, fuel-efficient regional aircraft in the future.”

Delivered to Silver Airways on a long-term operating lease, these aircraft will be operated across Silver’s passenger network:  the south-eastern USA, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean.
