ATR delivered a new ATR 72-600, registration D4‑CCP, to CVsky on 7 October, marking the first of two new ATR 72‑600 units to join the airline’s fleet under leasing contracts.
The aircraft is being painted in CVsky colours in France and is expected to arrive in Cape Verde by the end of October; the operational lease is backed by a sovereign guarantee from the Cape Verde government through Avation of Singapore.
CVsky already operates two ATR 72‑600s, D4‑CCM and D4‑CCN, each configured for 74 passengers, which were manufactured in 2018 and entered service in 2025, and uses the type on short domestic routes of about 36 minutes that can operate from runways as short as 1,200‑1,500 m.
