ATR increases its Paris Air Show record:
88 firm orders and 42 options = 130 aircraft

ATR keeps increasing its outstanding order book at 2011’s historical Paris Air Show. With today’s signature with the leasing company Nordic Aviation Capital (NAC), ATR brings to 88 its total firm orders (plus 42 options) since the beginning of the year. This becomes its new record of sales announced at the Paris Air Show (previous record was 53 orders and 15 options, at the 2007 edition).

The total value of these orders, including the options, is estimated at 2.8 US$ billion.

During this week’s Paris Air Show, ATR has announced 60 new orders and 37 options. They join the 28 orders and 5 options previously revealed this year. The addition of all has enabled ATR to reach such an historical record of 88 firm orders and 42 options at the Paris Air Show.

Since the beginning of the programme, ATR has sold 1,162 aircraft and delivered 929.

This brings ATR’s backlog to 233 aircraft (worth: 5.4 US$ billion). This order book

translates to more than three years of production.

Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, declares: “This is a totally outstanding and historical air show for ATR. Our list of customers, both airlines and leasing companies, is dramatically increasing, and ATR aircraft are today in almost 100 countries. This clearly underlines the ATR product as the optimal solution for regional transportation. We are pleased to welcome our new operators and customers, and we are honored of the confidence that some others have placed in ATR for years”.
