May 8, 2006 (newstodate): On May 6, the Russian carrier UTAir received its first two ATR-42 regional aircraft.
ATR was announced the winner of UTAir's tender in August, 2004, and a total of five aircraft will initially be delivered.
The ATR-42 will gradually replace the carriers' AN-24 aircraft and burns one-third less fuel than its predecessor.
Over time, all of UTAir's current 30 ageing regional airdraft will need replacement.
