Oct 13, 2014 (newstodate): Two ATR 42-500 aircraft, formerly owned by the Danish ACMI carrier DAT have found a new life in Asia.
Both aircraft were originally operated by the now defunct carrier Cimber Sterling that went bankrupt in 2012.
DAT acquired the aircraft and invested in bringing them back to standards through a time-consuming maintenance effort and sold first one, shortly after also the second aircraft to a large US based lessor
In collaboration with Airstream International Group, the aircraft have now been put on a new lease with the Singapore-based Hevilift Group and will be used on dedicated mining contracts in Papua New Guinea after pre-service modifications performed at Cairns, Australia.
