Blueberry Aviation announced the successful completion of the recovery of Garuda's ATR72-600 fleet, following the return flight of the tenth and final aircraft to Toulouse on 5th July 2026. The project was carried out on behalf of the French and Italian Export Credit Agencies.

This achievement follows the completion of a similar repossession and remarketing project involving eleven ATR72-600s recovered from Avianca in 2022, following Avianca's Chapter 11 filing.

For both projects, Blueberry Aviation was mandated by the Export Credit Agencies to manage the full repossession process including on-site physical and records inspections, fleet valuation, recovery of aircraft, ferrying and storage in France, insurance management, and the remarketing and redelivery of the entire fleet to their new owners.

Together, these two fleet recoveries confirm Blueberry Aviation's position as a leader and expert not only in aircraft remarketing, but in managing assets in distress situations, involving airlines undergoing restructuring or insolvency proceedings, and distressed physical conditions of aircraft recovered after extended periods of grounding anywhere in the world.
