Abelo delivers first ATR 72 cargo conversion to Renegade Air in Kenya

Abelo, a lessor specialising in the turboprop segment, has reported the successful delivery of MSN875, a newly converted ATR 72 freighter, to Renegade Air. This milestone marks the introduction of ATR aircraft into the Kenyan aviation sector at Wilson Airport.

Previously used for passenger services, the ATR 72 has been converted to meet the growing demand for cargo operations, in line with the changing requirements of the Kenyan market.

Renegade Air's decision to switch from the Dash8 to the ATR 72 reflects its growth strategy and its commitment to enhance its operational capabilities to meet growing cargo demand. The addition of the MSN875 to Renegade's fleet is a significant step forward in the regional aviation landscape.
