India, Oct. 26 -- FLY91 and ATR announced the purchase of 40 ATR 72-600 aircraft for around $1 billion, marking the largest ATR firm order in almost a decade, and the largest ever by a regional airline. Deliveries are scheduled from 2027 to 2032. The landmark agreement lifts ATR's 2026 order intake to 54 aircraft, already surpassing the company's total net orders for the whole of 2025, with more than three months still remaining in the year. Less than three years after launching operations, pure regional player FLY91 is set to grow its fleet from six aircraft to 60 in the next five years.
