Our ATR Journey Begins: Jetstream Delivers 1st ATR 72-600 To Silver Airways

Jetstream Aviation Capital, LLC is pleased to announce the delivery of one ATR 72-600 passenger aircraft to Silver Airways of Hollywood, Florida on June 17, 2023.

The aircraft, serial number 1185, with United States registration N706SV, is the first of a multi-aircraft ATR 72-600 commitment between Jetstream and Silver and will be used for Silver’s scheduled and charter passenger operations within the Bahamas, Caribbean, and the Southeastern United States. It will be followed by several additional ATR 72-600s which will be delivered to Silver in the upcoming months.

Stuart Klaskin, Chief Executive of Jetstream Aviation Capital, said: “The delivery of MSN 1185 marks a pivotal moment in Jetstream’s thirteen-year history of leasing turboprops to the global regional airline community – the beginning of our journey with the ATR aircraft type. It is fitting that the first delivery of this modern, efficient aircraft is to our customer of almost a decade, Silver Airways, which formerly leased a significant number of Saab 340s from Jetstream. It is a pleasure and honor to continue our relationship with our friends at Silver into the future with the ATR aircraft.”

“We are thrilled with the newest addition of this ATR 72-600 into our fleet of ATR-600 series aircraft, one of many more to arrive at Silver in the coming months. Increasing our fleet size will allow us to operate more frequency to the destinations our passengers frequent and love, and the possibilities of adding new and exciting routes and destinations are on the horizon. Our continuing partnership with Jetstream Aviation Capital has been invaluable to Silver Airways, allowing us to grow and maintain our safe and reliable operation.” said Steve Rossum, CEO of Silver Airways.
