Sep 06, 2012 (newstodate): The Danish carrier DAT has added another ATR-72 aircraft to its fleet.
The new aircraft, manufactured only in 2000 and in "excellent shape" according to a DAT spokesman, will primarily add flexibility and back-up redundancy to the existing fleet of three ATR-72 aircraft and fill voids when one of these is in for for a C-check or in case of other maintenance situations.
The latest addition will be based at Copenhagen Airport and is due to enter commercial service with DAT next week when the full documentation process has been completed.
In the fleet of DAT are also nine ATR-42, two of which are in cargo configuration, two DASH-8 bought earlier this year for services in Norway but now operated on Danish domestic routes from Sonderborg and Bornholm, one MD-83 and one MD-87 as well as two SAAB-340 aircraft.
