Aircraft manufacturer, ATR has delivered the first ATR 72-600 featuring the ATR HighLine “All-Business Class” configuration to Malaysian airline, Berjaya Air in Kuala Lumpur, signaling a major milestone for regional aviation. The aircraft manufacturer says, “ATR’s new cabin concept received certification from both EASA and the Malaysian authorities earlier this month, confirming its readiness for commercial operations worldwide.”
ATR said the delivery represents “a dual first for Berjaya Air; the airline’s inaugural ATR 72-600 and the launch platform for ATR’s new premium cabin collection.” ATR notes that “the aircraft features a fully bespoke, all–business class cabin, accommodating 26 seats in a spacious and unique 1-by-1 layout, ensuring every guest benefits from direct aisle access and direct view to multiple windows.”
“One of the cabin’s most distinctive elements is the executive‑style ceiling, where overhead bins have been replaced by sleek valence panels. This design opens up the cabin, floods the interior with natural light, and creates a volume comparable to that of the world’s largest private aircraft – all on board the most fuel-efficient regional aircraft.” added ATR.
Group CEO, Berjaya Property Berhald, Syed Ali Shahul Hameed said: “Taking delivery of the world’s first ATR 72-600 in ATR HighLine configuration marks an important step in Berjaya Air’s transformation journey.
