Rise Air announced the addition of a second ATR 42-500 aircraft to its fleet of five ATRs. The aircraft, registration C-GRYI, will primarily serve the airline's workforce transportation routes.
This latest addition complements the airline's first ATR 42-500, C-FHBX which is dedicated to scheduled services in northern Saskatchewan.
"The arrival of this second ATR 42-500 in Saskatoon is a significant step in our ongoing efforts to enhance our service levels throughout Saskatchewan's north," said Derek Nice, Rise Air’s President and CEO. "We are excited to introduce this quieter, faster aircraft to more passengers across our network."
The ATR 42-500 is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft known for its efficiency, reliability, and performance. It offers a comfortable cabin with a wider aisle, larger overhead storage bins and greater noise suppression over older models. This investment is an endorsement of the Saskatchewan aviation sector and the strong and stable economy.
