The ATR (Aerei da Trasporto Regionale or Regional Air Transport) series represents a family of twin-turboprop regional aircraft manufactured by the French-Italian consortium, ATR, now majority-owned by Airbus. These aircraft are well-regarded for their efficiency, versatility, and capability to serve short-haul and regional routes.
The ATR series encompasses different models, with varying seating capacities typically ranging from 40 to 78 passengers. These aircraft are equipped with two powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW100 or Turbomeca engines, delivering a good balance between fuel efficiency and performance.
ATR aircraft are renowned for their spacious cabins, with comfortable seating arrangements, overhead storage, and large windows, enhancing the in-flight experience for passengers. They are equipped with modern avionics systems, offering safe and reliable operation.
