Acia Aero and IPRC to convert three ATR 72-600
Acia Aero Leasing (“Acia”), a provider of regional aircraft leasing and lease management services, and IPR Conversions (Switzerland) Limited (“IPRC”), a supplemental type certificate (“STC”) holder for the conversion of ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft into freighters, have agreed to jointly convert a fleet of three ATR 72-600 aircraft into freighters.
Leveraging Acia and IPRC’s track record of conversions across the entire ATR 72 regional aircraft family, this latest commitment will involve two ATR 72-600 large cargo floor (“LCD”) and one ATR 72-600 bulk freighter cargo (“BFC”) conversions, further expanding both companies’ freighter portfolios.
The companies will commence the first conversion in January 2023, with its completion expected by June 2023. The remaining two conversions are planned for Q1/2023. (cj)
