Avation places $130 million aircraft order with ATR

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Regional turboprop planemaker ATR, a joint venture between Airbus Group (PA:AIR) and Italy's Finmeccanica (MI:SIFI), signed a deal to supply five ATR 72-600 aircraft to Singapore-based lessor Avation PLC (L:AVAP).

The acquisition of the planes by Avation is valued at about $130 million (£116.5 million), company officials said on Tuesday, the first day of the Singapore Airshow. Planemakers normally give discounts from list prices.
