Avions de Transport Régional (ATR), a renowned manufacturer of regional aircraft, has etched a historic moment in aviation history with the delivery of its 1,700th aircraft. This milestone signifies a testament to ATR’s enduring legacy, innovation, and unwavering commitment to meeting the evolving needs of the aviation industry.
Founded in 1981 through a strategic partnership between Aérospatiale of France (now part of Airbus) and Aeritalia (now integrated into Leonardo), ATR has established itself as a leading force in the regional aircraft market. The company’s journey began with the development of the ATR 42-200, which received its Type Certificate from both the French Directorate General for Civil Aviation and the Italian Civil Aviation Authority in 1985. This certification marked a pivotal moment in ATR’s journey, solidifying its reputation for reliability and performance.
The delivery of the 1,700th aircraft to Air Corsica, a valued customer with a long-standing relationship with ATR, further underscores the company’s success. This delivery marks a significant milestone, adding to a series of achievements that have defined ATR’s journey. From the delivery of its 500th aircraft in 1997 to its 1,000th aircraft in 2012 and the 1,500th aircraft to IndiGo in 2018, ATR has consistently demonstrated its ability to adapt to the dynamic demands of the aviation industry.
This latest milestone reaffirms ATR’s position as a trusted partner in the aviation sector, providing reliable and efficient regional aircraft that connect communities and drive economic growth. ATR’s legacy of excellence, coupled with its unwavering commitment to innovation, ensures that the company remains a driving force in the future of regional aviation.
