Atlantic Airways to provide wet lease service in Chile

Atlantic Airways has signed a contract with Chilean carrier DAP to provide the Chilean carrier with capacity. Initially Atlantic Airways will wetlease one AvroRJ 85 to DAP during a period of three months, which then will be converted to a dry lease. The aircraft will be based in Santiago de Chile and services will commence beginning of January 2013. Atlantic Airways has also agreed to provide DAP with further Avro RJ capacity later in 2013 as the company expect to phase out further Avro RJ aircraft. Atlantic Airways has previously delivered one BAe 146 to DAP in Chile.
