Kan Air (KND, Chiang Mai) accepted its first of two ATR72-500s on lease from Nordic Aviation Capital earlier this month. HS-KAD (cn 777) will be joined by a second of the type next month bringing the Thai domestic operator's fleet up to four including one Cessna (single turboprop) Grand Caravan 208B and a Premier I.

The Bangkok Post says the turboprops are being used on daily flights from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son, Khon Kaen, and Ubon Ratchathani with new services to Nakhon Ratchasima, Hua Hin, and Mae Sot to follow.
