The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has provided validation of the type certificate for the ATR 42-600.

Air Tahiti orders one additional ATR 72-600 and confirms agreement for two ATR 42-600S.

This milestone opens the opportunity for ATR to re-enter the Chinese market with a firm order from an undisclosed customer for three aircraft. The ATR 42-600 is an ideal route opener for China, a vast country looking to grow essential connections profitably and responsibly.

“Receiving CAAC’s validation of the ATR 42-600 type certificate, along with a firm order, is a major achievement marking the re-introduction of ATR turboprops in China”, Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, ATR’s Chief Executive Officer, said.
