Berjaya Air has taken delivery of the world’s first ATR 72-600 configured in an all-business-class cabin, becoming the launch operator for ATR’s new HighLine interior. The aircraft arrived in Kuala Lumpur after receiving certification for the HighLine concept from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency and Malaysian regulators earlier in May, clearing it for commercial operations.
The turboprop features a bespoke 26-seat layout in a 1-1 configuration, giving every passenger direct aisle access and views through multiple windows. The cabin is designed as a premium product aimed at business and high-end leisure travelers, reflecting Berjaya Air’s role in supporting a wider hospitality portfolio and resort network.
According to ATR and the airline, the new aircraft will be used to enhance regional connectivity to resort destinations across Southeast Asia. A second factory-new ATR 72-600 in the same all-business-class HighLine configuration is scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of 2026, further expanding Berjaya Air’s premium regional fleet.
