Indian regional airline FLY91 has signed a Global Maintenance Agreement (GMA) with turboprop manufacturer ATR.
The agreement will last for five years and initially cover two ATR 72-600s, with ATR providing repair, overhaul and pooling services of Line Replaceable Units, propeller availability and repair services for the aircraft. It will also provide engineering and on-site support for FLY91’s fleet of ATR aircraft.
“As a regional carrier, we are dedicated to serving our customers with reliable, comfortable flights and seamless connectivity,” said Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer at FLY91.

Stefano Marazzani, ATR’s SVP of Customer Support and Services, commented: “With over 40 years of expertise, ATR is ideally placed to support FLY91’s ambitious development plans, sharing insightful data and best practices to ensure their fleet benefit from continuously high performance.”
The GMA marks a significant first step to FLY91, providing reliable, regional air travel across India. Headquartered in Goa, FLY91 will work to improve air connectivity across Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities in India.
The regional airline’s long-term goal is to connect over 50 cities in the next five years and induct 30 aircraft into its fleet. Around 80% of the ATR -600 fleet covered by a pay-by-the-hour contract is covered by an ATR GMA.
This GMA is the latest MRO agreement signed by the airline. In April 2024, Pratt and Whitney Canada signed an engine services agreement with FLY91, covering the maintenance, repair and overhaul of its PW127M engines.
