ATR

In 1982, the European joint venture formed by Aerospatiale (now EADS) and Aeritalia (now Alenia Aeronautica, part of the Finmeccanica group) resulted in the most cost-effective family of short-haul aircraft.

The aircraft design is inspired from a high-wing, twin turboprop aircraft optimized right from the start for efficiency, operating flexibility and passenger comfort: the ATR 42 and ATR 72.

Twenty years on, ATR has become the benchmark for regional turboprop aircraft with sales reaching 958 aircraft, with over 130 operators in more than 80 countries and some 17 million flying hours. Today, ATR is a pioneer in the regional transport field: every twenty seconds, an ATR takes off somewhere around the world.

ATR is the one of the world's leading aerospace company and the largest manufacturer of regional aircraft.

Headquartered in Toulouse, South of France, ATR employs more than 800 people across Europe, with major operations in the Blagnac and St Martin areas of the Midi Pyrénées region. Total company revenues for 2007 were around $1.1 billion.
