ATR and the Spanish carrier Air Nostrum today inked a contract for the purchase of 10 ATR 72-600s, plus options for 10 additional aircraft. The deal, announced on the occasion of the Paris Air Show and worth some US $ 425 million including options, allowed the European regional turboprop manufacturer to go beyond the 1,000th aircraft sold since the beginning of the programme.
The new ATR 72-600 fleet will allow Air Nostrum to start replacing and upgrading its current fleet of 17 Bombardier’s Q-300s with larger capacity aircraft featuring the latest technological enhancements and the lowest seat-mile costs in regional aviation. The aircraft will also have the new cabin interior features of the ATR 600s, with improved lightweight, enhanced comfort seats and enlarged overhead bins. The delivery of these 70-seat configured aircraft will start in 2011.
