The total value of the contract is US $ 30 million. Stéphane Mayer, who succeeded Filippo Bagnato as ATR CEO on 1st June, and Christian Marchand, Air Antilles Express CEO inked the deal at Le Bourget.

Both aircraft will be configured with 48 seats and equipped with the “Elegance Cabin” and the newest technological innovations in passenger comfort, communications and navigation aid tools. The first will be delivered in 2008 and the second will follow in 2009.

With these 2 ATR 42-500s, the airline will replace their two existing ATR 42s in order to standardize the fleet on the latest generation aircraft with improved comfort and performance and thus face the growing demand of their inter-islands network.
