Mar 02, 2016 (newstodate): The Danish carrier DAT has placed one of its two ATR 42-300 aircraft on a contract with Sunrise Airways of Haiti.
The aircraft is delivered on an ACMI contract brokered by Skyworld Aviation and running till the end of 2017.
Sunrise Airways currently operates a fleet of three Jetstream 32 aircraft, serving Porte au Prince, Cap Haitien, Santo Domingo and Santiago de Cuba.
In 2015, Sunrise was the first Haitian airline to be awarded a Part 129 Operating Permit which upgraded the airline from ad-hoc/charter services to scheduled service status.
The introduction of the ATR equipment will allow Sunrise to serve longer haul routes more effectively in its Western Caribbean route network, in particular Santiago de Cuba, Cuba, and the airline also plans to serve Jamaica and Turks and Caicos Islands in the near future.
