Blueberry Aviation completes recovery of Garuda’s ATR72-600 fleet

Blueberry Aviation said it has successfully completed the recovery of Garuda’s ATR72-600 fleet following the return flight of the 10th and final aircraft to Toulouse on 5 July 2026. The project was carried out on behalf of the French and Italian Export Credit Agencies (ECAs). This achievement follows the completion of a similar repossession and remarketing project involving 11 ATR72-600s recovered from Avianca in 2022, following Avianca’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. For both projects, Blueberry Aviation was mandated by the Export Credit Agencies to manage the full repossession process including on-site physical and records inspections, fleet valuation, recovery of aircraft, ferrying and storage in France, insurance management, and the remarketing and redelivery of the entire fleet to their new owners. Together, these two fleet recoveries confirm Blueberry Aviation’s position as a leader and expert not only in aircraft remarketing, but in managing assets in distress situations, involving airlines undergoing restructuring or insolvency proceedings, and distressed physical conditions of aircraft recovered after extended periods of grounding anywhere in the world. Blueberry Aviation is an independent global aircraft trading company spanning two complementary markets under one roof, standing as a global major player in commercial aircraft remarketing, sourcing, and asset management and as one of the largest helicopter traders in the secondary market. Its advisory team guides clients on equipment selection, transaction execution, sourcing and sales of new and pre-owned aircraft, technical support, and portfolio management. The company has completed more over 190 commercial aircraft deals and more than 565 helicopter transactions to date. Based in Monaco, New York, Singapore and Mumbai, Blueberry Aviation is led by its founder and CEO François Gautier.
