ATR sees strong market potential for ATR 42-600 with enhanced STOL capabilities
Wednesday 21 June 2017
The ATR 42-600S could reach runways of 800 meters and create new business opportunities
Toulouse, June 21, 2017 – ATR is finalising the evaluation for the launch of a version of the ATR 42-600 with enhanced Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. The regional turboprop aircraft manufacturer is ready to offer this new version, the ATR 42-600S, to its current and potential customers.
The ATR 42-600S will substantially reduce the minimum length of runway required to take-off and land with full passenger capacity, down to only 800 meters. By improving these capabilities of the ATR 42-600s, hundreds of airports with runway lengths between 800 and 900 meters will be able to welcome the aircraft, thus increasing business opportunities for its operators.
As of today, a large and ageing fleet of nearly 2,200 regional aircraft from 30 to 50 seats operate all over the world. Among this fleet, turboprops account for nearly 60% (1,200 aircraft), and provide an essential connectivity to smaller and remote communities. These turboprops serve over 3,100 routes today, with one third of these routes relying exclusively on these aircraft.
The fleet of inefficient previous generation regional aircraft will need to be replaced in the years to come. The ATR 42 perfectly addresses this market with a combination of modernity, reliability and the highest standards of passenger comfort. The ATR 42 matches trip costs of 30-seat aircraft while adding seats and driving down unit costs, thus generating potential to stimulate demand. ATR sees a potential for nearly 600 deliveries of 50-seat turboprops in the 20 years to come.
Commenting on the potential for this new version of the ATR 42-600, Christian Scherer, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, declared: “Facilitating the emergence of future traffic as well as maintaining the connectivity of communities is at the heart of ATR’s role. This is why we have decided to further address the challenges of airfield accessibility, allowing growth in air services for remote areas as well. We are now proposing the ATR 42-600S to our operators and we look forward to positive feedback from the market”.
About the ATR 42-600:
Passenger capacity: 30 to 50 seats
Engines: PW127M, from Pratt & Whitney Canada
Maximum power at take-off: 2400 shaft horsepower (SHP) per engine
Maximum weight at take-off: 18,600 kg
Maximum payload: 5,500 kg
Maximum range with full passenger load: 800 nautical miles (1,483 km)
ABOUT ATR:
Founded in 1981, ATR is the world leader on the market for below-90-seat regional aircraft. Since its creation, ATR has sold over 1,500 aircraft. ATR aircraft equip the fleets of some 200 airlines in nearly 100 countries. ATR is an equal partnership between two major European aeronautics players, Airbus and Leonardo.

ATR STUDIA UNA VERSIONE DELL’ATR42-600 CON MAGGIORI CAPACITA’ STOL
ATR sta valutando il lancio di una versione dell’ATR 42-600 con enhanced Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. Il costruttore è pronto ad offrire questa nuova versione, l’ATR 42-600S, ai suoi clienti attuali e potenziali. L’ATR 42-600S ridurrà sostanzialmente la lunghezza minima della pista necessaria per il decollo e l’atterraggio, mantenendo la piena capacità di trasporto passeggeri, fino a soli 800 metri. Migliorando queste funzionalità, centinaia di aeroporti con lunghezza di pista da 800 a 900 metri potranno accogliere gli aerei, aumentando così le opportunità di business per gli operatori. Una vasta flotta di vecchi aeromobili regionali da 30 a 50 posti, pari a 2.200 macchine, opera in tutto il mondo. Tra questa flotta, i turboprop rappresentano quasi il 60% (1.200 aerei) e forniscono una connettività essenziale alle comunità più piccole e remote. Oggi questi turboprop servono oltre 3.100 percorsi, con un terzo di queste rotte che si basano esclusivamente su questi velivoli. La flotta di aeromobili regionali più vecchia dovrà essere sostituita negli anni a venire. L’ATR 42 risponde perfettamente a questo mercato con una combinazione di modernità, affidabilità e standard più alti per il comfort dei passeggeri. ATR vede un potenziale per quasi 600 consegne di turboprop da 50 posti nei prossimi 20 anni. Commentando il potenziale di questa nuova versione dell’ATR 42-600, Christian Scherer, Amministratore Delegato di ATR, ha dichiarato: “Facilitare il traffico futuro e mantenere la connettività delle comunità è al centro del ruolo di ATR. Per questo motivo abbiamo deciso di affrontare ulteriormente le sfide dell’accesibilità degli aeroporti, consentendo la crescita dei servizi aerei anche per le aree remote. Ora proponiamo gli ATR 42-600S ai nostri operatori e attendiamo le risposte positive dal mercato”.

ATR plans to launch ATR-42 STOL variant
June 21, 2017
Franco-Italian regional turboprop aircraft manufacturer is planning to launch a new version of its ATR 42-600 turboprop passenger aircraft with enhanced Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities.
Designated ATR 42-600S, the STOL version will require only a 800 m (2625 ft) long runway to take off and land, 200-400 m less than the present take off requirement and 150-250 less than present landing requirement.
The STOL capability will open hundreds of new airports with 800-900 m long runways to ATR-42's operating list, thus increasing business opportunities for operators.
ATR sees a potential for nearly 600 deliveries of 50-seat turboprops in the 20 years to come.
The ATR-42 can seat between 30 and 50 passengers and can fly to a distance of 800 nautical miles (1,483 km) with full load.
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M turboprop engines rated at 2400 shaft horsepower (SHP) each, the ATR-42 have a maximum take off weight of 18,600 kg and can carry a maximum payload of 5,500 kg.
