LEASCOR (Angeles City Clark International) has acquired two ATR72-500s from Israir (6H, Tel Aviv Ben Gurion) in a transaction arranged by BLAC.
The Israeli carrier announced a deal to sell 4X-ATH (msn 931) and 4X-ATI (msn 962) in early January 2023 but continued to operate them through January 15 and January 17, respectively. Both ATR - Avions de Transport Régional turboprops remain at Tel Aviv Ben Gurion airport. Israir said the cash sale generated USD13 million in total although net earnings will only amount to USD2 million.
Israir said ATR operations decreased in feasibility after the closure of Tel Aviv Sde Dov airport in 2019. It will henceforth focus on its fleet of six A320-200s.
LEASCOR, a Angeles City Clark International-based passenger charter airline, currently operates two Fokker 50s, alongside smaller aircraft not tracked by ch-aviation. The carrier is owned by Aviation Cadet Development Inc. (ACDI), a cooperative of former Philippine Air Force pilots.
