If we look at the numbers then I guess Atlantiques are to be replaced. PN has 6 Fokkers and had 2 Atlantiques. The talk going on is about the purchasing of 2 ATR's. Hence the replacement of 2 Atlantiques with 2 ATR's makes sense.
Except if PN is looking to retire 2 or 3 oldest Fokkers in favor of 2 new ATR's.
Yeah...the news articles say that Fokkers are going to be replaced (there are no direct quotes though), but the aircraft that has been retired is Atlantique. Another thing is that there is also talk that ATR will also be used in a transport role, and Fokker is also in a transport role. The outgoing aircraft (Atlantique) was not used as a transport IMO.
It certainly is one to look out for...
