ATR: Short
Haul Solutions
Toulouse, Southern France-based
regional aircraft manufacturer ATR
is the reference in the 50 to
74-seat turboprop market. Its ATR
42 and ATR 72 are the perfect
solution on short-haul routes
around the world. ATR has become
the leader in its category by
offering a high-performance,
reliable, easy-to-maintain and
comfortable aircraft to airlines
operating on the regional air
transport market, at a cost well
below that of its competitors. The
ATR aircraft have the lowest seat
mile costs on short haul routes.
The new generation ATR –500 series
is the state-of-the-art aircraft
in terms of technological
innovation. Thus, the level of
passenger comfort is equivalent to
that offered by a jet of the same
category, even better in terms of
cabin space.
An important feature of the ATR
family is the high degree of
commonality between the ATR 42 and
ATR 72. They have the same
fuselage cross section, use the
same basic systems, share the same
engines and propellers as well as
the same cockpit.
ATR has four customer support
centers (Toulouse, Washington,
Singapore and India), three
training centers (Toulouse,
Bangkok and India), sales offices
in Beijing, Sydney and Moscow. ATR
is certified ISO 9001-2000 and
EN/AS/JISQ 9100, the worldwide
quality standard in the field of
aeronautics.
Almost 130 operators worldwide
currently operate ATRs in about 70
countries. ATR benefits from the
experience and know-how of two of
the major leading European
aerospace industries, Alenia
Aeronautica (Finmeccanica group)
and EADS, who each have a 50%
share in the ATR programme.
In 2006, ATR posted a turnover of
US $ 700 million, an increase of
30% compared to 2005, thus
confirming the recovery of the
turboprop market and the success
of ATR aircraft.
In terms of deliveries, ATR plans
to deliver 44 aircraft this year
(versus 24 in 2005) and some 60
aircraft in 2008.
