Do planes retire? An ATR 42 reaches the end of its life in Nepal

After clocking full economic life with 70,000 cycles—44,477 of them for Buddha Air—Nepal bids farewell to its first retired ATR aircraft.
Since the introduction of its first two ATR 42-320 in 2008, Buddha Air has expanded its fleet to 18 ATR aircraft, making it the seventh-largest ATR fleet operator in the world. Hemanta Shrestha/TKP
