Malaysia's AirBorneo eyes sale of ATR72-500 fleet

AirBorneo (MY, Kuching) is considering selling its eight ATR72-500s as it prepares to replace them with newer-generation ATR - Avions de Transport Régional turboprops from 2027, chief executive Megat Ardian Aminuddin told The New Straits Times newspaper.
"We are still discussing that, and there are a few options. Number one is to sell them outright," Megat said. Prospective buyers have already expressed interest, although talks remain at an early stage.
The first replacement aircraft is expected in the third or fourth quarter of 2027, with the ATR72-500s to be phased out as the new aircraft arrive.
AirBorneo has ordered five ATR72-600s and three ATR42-600s, with four additional purchase rights. Deliveries are scheduled through 2029.
The carrier acquired the eight ATR72-500s from Malaysia Aviation Group in December 2025 as part of the Sarawak state government's acquisition of MASwings. The fleet has an average age of 17.2 years, according to ch-aviation data.
AirBorneo also inherited six DHC-6-400s and later began wet leasing two B737-800s for its jet operations.

Thrive Aviation (TIV, Las Vegas Henderson) is launching a fractional ownership programme with HondaJet and Challenger 3500 aircraft in partnership with Arulean Air, a subsidiary of Honda Aircraft. The partnership includes a minority investment in Thrive Aviation's capital by Arulean Air.
"We're building another major piece of the Thrive platform and something we expect to scale for a long time," said Curtis Edenfield, co-founder and CEO of Thrive Aviation.
The programme includes the HondaJet in the light jet category, configured for up to five passengers and designed for regional missions, and the Challenger 3500 in the super-midsize segment, deployed on longer-range services with a cabin layout for up to nine passengers.
Thrive Aviation took delivery of the first two aircraft for the programme, including a Challenger 3500, and anticipates adding four to six HondaJets and two to four Challenger 3500s annually. The programme is expected to "scale significantly over the coming decade," the company said.
The aircraft will be acquired by Arulean Air and operated by Thrive Aviation. It remains unclear whether the aircraft are newly ordered or pre-owned units.
Fractional ownership represents a new model for Thrive Aviation, which further offers on-demand charter, aircraft management, jet card memberships, and maintenance services.
Thrive Aviation currently operates over 30 aircraft. The company's Part 135 certificate comprises 23 jets, including two Learjet 60XRs, a Challenger 604, a Challenger 605, a Citation M2, a Citation Jet 3+, four Citation Sovereign+ jets, four Citation Longitudes, a Falcon 900EX EASy, a Falcon 2000EX EASy, a Praetor 500, five G450s, and a GVII-G600.
