Blueberry Aviation has successfully delivered four ATR72-600s to ACIA Aero Leasing as part of a repossession and remarketing project assigned to Blueberry Aviation, involving a formerly NAC-owned fleet of 10xATR72-600 which were operated by Garuda.
Blueberry Aviation was mandated by the French and Italian Export Credit Agencies (ECAs) to support the negotiation with the airline and manage the full repossession project. This included on-site physical and records inspections, valuation of the fleet, recovery from Indonesia, ferry to and storage in France, managing aircraft insurances, as well as the remarketing and redelivery of the aircraft to their new owner.
“I am pleased to say the delivery of these aircraft confirms Blueberry Aviation’s team as the go-to experts for regional aircraft in the global secondary market,” says Francois Gautier, Blueberry Aviation CEO. “We are grateful for the ECAs’ renewed trust. It has been a pleasure working with ACIA to complete this transaction.”
