Kepplair 72

Kepplair Evolution presents the KEPPLAIR 72, an innovative project to convert an ATR 72 into a multi-role water bomber, designed to meet the growing challenges of forest fire fighting and post-disaster response. By building on an existing platform, this ambitious project will considerably reduce its time-to-market, scheduled for 2027, while optimizing initial investment costs.
