ATR says it has received 145 firm aircraft orders for the year to date, a new annual record sales figure despite there being three months of the year remaining.
“This sales record, and the year is not yet over, once again underlines the relevance of our product to meet the requirements of regional transport, which continues to expand worldwide. In terms of savings, ecology, performance and comfort, ATR aircraft, and the newest -600 series in particular, have become the benchmark for regional airlines worldwide,” claimed ATR CEO Filippo Bagnato.
