Wings Air hopes that will will be able to receive and operate 15 new aircraft this year alone. With this addition, Wings Air will become the biggest user of ATR 72-500 planes in Southeast Asia.
Wings Air is using the plane for various routes in areas like Sumatra, Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Sulawesi and even some international flights.
