Binter Canarias (NT, Gran Canaria) has ordered four ATR72-600s from ATR - Avions de Transport Régional with an option for a fifth of the type.

Announced during the ongoing Dubai Air Show, the Canary Islands-based carrier will use the new turboprops to gradually replace its existing fleet of seven ATR72-500s, which currently averages 13.5 years of age, the ch-aviation Commercial Aviation Aircraft Data module reflects.

Together with its Canair (RSC, Gran Canaria) subsidiary, Binter Canarias already operates seventeen ATR72-600s (with one more due to delivery) and five E195-E2s. Besides intra-Canary Island flights, it also offers regular services to mainland Spain, Morocco, Senegal, Mauritania, Cabo Verde, Portugal, France, and Italy.
