17-Year-Old ATR 72 Completes 13,000-Mile Ferry Flight from Philippines to Canada

A 17-year-old ATR 72 regional turboprop has flown from the Philippines to Canada, a ferry trip of 13,000 miles (21,000 km) across three continents and two oceans. The journey took 12 legs and was tracked using Simple Flying's Live Flight Tracker.

The source material does not say why the flight took place. The aircraft had been used for short interisland hops, which makes the long-distance ferry operation notable. Whether it was sold, leased, or transferred between operators is also not stated.

Simple Flying reported that the route began in tropical Southeast Asia and ended in northern Canada. The ATR 72 is a twin-engine turboprop built for regional routes.

The extract did not include details about the operator, registration, or specific airports involved.
