“These new aircraft orders demonstrate clear signs of recovery in South East Asia, traditionally one of ATR’s largest markets. We are confident that, in due course, the efficiency of our product offering, the lack of available second-hand aircraft and traffic exceeding pre-crisis levels in certain areas of the globe will induce a need for versatile, low-emission aircraft to support regional operators’ plans for both fleet replacement and growth,” commented Tarnaud Laude.
ATR also reported that, despite ongoing supply chain stresses, the manufacturer is on track to achieve its 40+ delivery target by 2023.
