ATR has launched the latest version of its ATR 72 family. The -600 aircraft has a number of features to enhance its performance relative to other ATR 72 types, including enhanced hot-and-high, and short field performance.

Joining the ATR 72-600 as a new product in the company's catalogue is the ATR 42-600. With good economic performance, the aircraft also has an impressive range of 890 nautical miles.

ATR assembles its aircraft at its production line in Toulouse, southwest France. The aircraft's fuselage and tail are delivered from Italy, and the wings from Bordeaux.
