ATR has delivered the first of two ATR 42-600 aircraft to Hokkaido Air System Co. (HAC), a JAL Group Company. This delivery marks the first step in HAC’s replacement of its Saab 340 fleet and this aircraft will ensure that essential regional air connectivity in Hokkaido can continue.
The ATR 42-600 will offer HAC increased capacity for the same operating costs – generating opportunities for the airline to increase revenues. It will also provide HAC’s passengers with a modern, comfortable cabin featuring latest generation 18”-wide seats as well as more space for luggage in the overhead bins.
