Haitian airline Sunrise Airways announced the expansion of its fleet with new aircraft ATR 42-320 (42 to 50 seats depending on the configuration). The company said it expected its delivery by the end of February 2016.

"Bringing an ATR into the Sunrise fold represents a bright new beginning for our airline; one that will see us branching out swiftly to serve longer-haul routes connecting more of the Western Caribbean more effectively than ever before," declared Philippe Bayard, President of Sunrise Airways.

Sunrise Airways operated flights so far in the Caribbean with aircraft Jetstream 32 EP 19 seat to and from Santo Domingo https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-14009-haiti-economy-sunrise-airways-a-world-class-airline.html , Santiago de Cuba https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-9770-haiti-economy-start-of-the-sunrise-airways-flights-between-haiti-and-cuba.html and of Cap Haitien https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-7354-haiti-economy-sunrise-airways-will-offer-daily-flights-port-au-prince-cap-haitien.html

"This fleet expansion is really all about our passengers, many of whom have long expressed an interest in having us spread our wings further afield" stressed Philippe Bayard adding "Havana, Camaguey, Kingston, Nassau, a return of the service to Turks and Caicos – the demand is strong for these and several other attractive regional gateways. Now, with the added size, comfort, and luggage capacity afforded by the ATR, we can look to serving routes like these with the same uncompromising style, safety, and reliability that our passengers have come to expect from Sunrise."
