ATR 72 The ATR 72 is a twin-turboprop short-haul regional airliner built in France by the ATR company (Avions de Transport Régional). The airplane seats up to 74 passengers and is operated by a 2 person crew.
History
The ATR 72 is a lengthened version (by 4.5 m, 14 ft 9 in) of the ATR 42 , with modified wings. It was announced at the 1985 Paris Air show and made its maiden flight on October 27 1988 .

Alenia Aeronautica is part of the Italian Finmeccanica group.

The ATR product range was officially launched on November 4th 1981 with the signature by both companies of the Cooperation Agreement.
