SATENA adds ATR aircraft to regional fleet

Abelo has disclosed a further lease placement from its orderbook with Colombian regional carrier SATENA for one ATR 72-600 aircraft. The agreement follows the successful delivery of Abelo’s first ATR 42-600 to SATENA in December 2025 and represents another important milestone in the expanding partnership between the two organisations.

Stephen Gorman, Chief Executive Officer of Abelo acknowledged on the extended relationship with SATENA: “The addition of ATR 72-600 will support the airline’s mission to enhance regional connectivity across Colombia. We also value our continued collaboration with ATR in delivering efficient, modern turboprop aircraft to dynamic markets.”

The new aircraft will further enhance SATENA’s fleet, enabling the airline to connect remote and underserved communities while supporting economic growth across Colombia’s regions. The ATR platform is particularly well suited to the country’s varied geography, offering strong operational efficiency alongside a lower environmental impact.
