ATR has announced the delivery of its 1,700th aircraft since the inception of the program to longstanding customer Air Corsica.
The delivery of this ATR 72-600 to the French airline completes the full transition of its fleet of ATR -500 series to the latest generation of turboprop aircraft, demonstrating its commitment to operational excellence, regional connectivity, and sustainability. It also underscores the robustness and enduring success of the ATR program, solidifying its position as a cornerstone in the regional aviation landscape.
Air Corsica was the first operator to take delivery of an ATR 72-600 equipped with the new PW127XT engine in November 2022.
