Turboprop aircraft experience Firefly currently operates a fleet of 12 twin turboprop aircraft which comprises of ATR 72-500 aircraft. Our ATR 72 series are optimized from the start for efficiency and passenger comfort and most importantly, safety and reliability. Technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, the ATR 72 series offers the lowest seat-mile cost in its category. These aircrafts can fly up to 2.5 hours with a maximum range on 890Nm without refueling on a full passenger load. The ATR 72-500 secondary structures are extensively made of corrosion-resistant composite material, and it uses carbon fiber for its outer wings and a composite tail, thus reducing weight further. A lighter aircraft translates to lower fuel consumption, which is also better for the environment. The ATR 72 series also offer spacious cabins with plush leather seats and soft ambient lighting for a more comfortable journey. Firefly passengers will also enjoy complimentary refreshment served by attentive flight attendants, 20kg checked-baggage allowance and assigned seating at the cost of an all-inclusive fare.
Boeing 737-800 Jets Firefly will also have an addition of three B737-800 to the family. This variant is the most common variant of the 737NG and is the most widely used narrowbody aircraft, making up over 25% of the worldwide large commercial airliner fleet. The sheer volume indicates, much like Firefly, reliability and stability, to give our passengers ease of mind when travelling. The jet has a range of up to 7000 km, with cruising speed of over 900 km/h. They use the high bypass engine (CFM-56) which burns much less fuel than a regular jet engine, hence consistent with our effort in reducing the impact towards the environment. The 737 series seats are arranged in such a way that the passenger’s comfort is top priority, complemented by the service of our steward and stewardess which are second to none. Various extra services are also available to maximize the flight experience even further, all at a very reasonable price.
