Mid-November, ATR attended the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC) conference in Montreal, showcasing how efficient, versatile and future-proof its aircraft are, as part of the company’s efforts to expand its footprint in North America.
With eight ATR operators flying over 50 aircraft across Canada, ATR’s turboprops are praised for their capacity to transport both passengers and cargo to the most challenging destinations, flying where other aircraft can’t, serving unpaved and short runways in cold environments, and offering a lifeline to the most remote communities.
The ATAC conference provided our Sales and Marketing representatives a great opportunity to connect both with current operators and potential business prospects across North America, as we see a strong potential for the ATR -600 to replace ageing fleets, leveraging the many benefits of our latest generation aircraft, and particularly their lower maintenance costs, increased availability, improved reliability and low levels of CO2 emissions. Equipped with the new PW127XT, produced by Pratt & Whitney Canada, the ATR 72-600 boasts a remarkable 45% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to similar-size regional jets.
Avation PLC (LON:AVAP) is a commercial passenger aircraft leasing company owning a fleet of aircraft which it leases to airlines across the world. Avation’s future focus are new technology low CO2 emission aircraft.
