Firefly Increases Its Turboprop Fleet To 10 Atr72-500s

KUALA LUMPUR, 24 August 2010 - Firefly, Your Community Airline, announced today that it will increase its present turboprop fleet with the purchase of three additional ATR72-500s, two of which will be delivered in December 2010 and the third in January 2011. Entry into service will be 1 month from delivery date. This brings Firefly s total turboprop fleet size to 10.

The additional aircraft will be used to strengthen Firefly s current network footprint through increased frequency for high demand sectors and reinstatement of some Penang based routes that were previously suspended as a result of a network rationalization that was carried out in the 1st quarter of 2009 due to unfavourable economic conditions.
