The Reference in the Regional Market


Transport

Since its introduction into service in December 1985, the ATR 42 has
become a reference in the regional air transport industry for reliability and
profitability and is now a best seller in its market segment.
The ATR 42 is remarkably simple to operate and to maintain and is equipped
with efficient, low-fuel-burn engines.
Its operating costs are 15%-20% lower than those of its competitors.
The basic ATR 42-300 is fitted with two PW120 engines rated at 2,000shp
each
The ATR 42-320, fitted with two PW121 engines rated at 2,100 shp each,
has been developed to offer increased performance for hot and high
conditions and short runway operations.

Space and Efficiency

With its bi-lobed fuselage, the ATR has the largest cross-section among new
generation aircraft with four-abreast passenger seating
The cross-section is constant throughout the passenger cabin area
The wide aisle (18 - 0.457 m) and stand-up headroom of 1.91m provides
continued comfort for passengers on a regional service connecting with wide
body jets.
Large overhead luggage bins are provided allowing more carry-on bags in
response to passengers increasing desire to avoid luggage check-in.

which are not subject to corrosion.
The in-service advantages of composites are numerous:
Immunity to corrosion and fatigue
Reduction of inspection
Payload gain and fuel savings.

Propeller Brake Principle

The ATR aircraft benefit from an economic


and efficient concept: the Hotel Mode.
The right hand engine is equipped with a
propeller brake installed on the reduction
gear box.
Used only on the ground, this brake locks
the propeller while, thanks to the threeconcentric shaft design of the engine, the
LP/HP spools continue to run providing
the aircraft with electrical DC power and
bleed air for the air conditioning system.

Hotel Mode/APU Comparison

The propeller brake represents the best compromise for the


operators because:
It is lighter than the APU.
It is economic
It can be maintained at low cost.
It has no effect on the engine life at ground idle.
It is installed as basic fit on the ATR 42 and ATR 72.

Standard cargo door: 1.275 x 1.53 m
(50.2 x 60.2), openable either from inside or
outside
Low loading sill (1.12 m)
Quick change option available:
- Class E compartment capability
- Total reinforced floor (400 kg/m)
- Passenger seats easily removable
- Forward partition easily removable
- Smoke detection extension in cabin

Notes
- The basic attendant seat is not usable during container
transport operations
- This type of operations requires the option 03-0011 (Container
Transport Capability)
- The Container Transport option requires that the cabin be, as
far as the fire protection system is concerned, class E. Class E
mainly leads to extension of the existing smoke detection system
and installation of isolating valves in the air-conditioning system.
This classification does not allow the use of the attendant seat
during cargo operations.

New Opportunities - Full Freighters


In order to address the growing requirements of cargo
operators for new generation, efficient regional
freighters, ATR has launched optimized derivatives of
the standard passenger models.
Bulk Freighter derivative (Tube version) : This
version is an optimized solution for small parcels
transportation (best volume and payload, quick and
efficient loading).
Large Cargo Door (116) conversion
In order to provide operators with standard ULD
compatibility (notably LD3 containers and 88 width
containers or pallets), a large 116 x 71 front cargo
door is now available, replacing the standard front door.
Combined as required with equipment from the Tube
concept, this version is a multi-purpose freighter
capable of:
- Bulk Freight transportation with improved loading
efficiency
- Standard or specific pallets or containers
transportation,
- Carriage of oversize loads.

Cost Effectiveness

Operators worldwide unanimously associate ATR 42 with


profitability.
Thanks to its low operating costs and high reliability, ATR
aircraft have played a major role in the development of many
Airlines.
Advanced technology has been the key factor in reducing
operating costs to a minimum:

Low fuel consumption


High maintainability
Maximum commonality, as part of a family of aircraft.

Conclusion

With 15 years of in-service experience, the ATR 42 has proved to be a


very reliable, and cost efficient aircraft.
Its 65% market share in the 40-50 seat turboprop market makes the
ATR 42 the number 1 in its category and the increasingly large
customer base is the best evidence of how well the aircraft is
appreciated around the world.
When operating used ATR 42 aircraft, airlines benefit from the wide
range of customized Support services developed by the Customer
Support Centers in Toulouse, Washington and Singapore, with a
special attention being offered to new ATR operators.
Buying or leasing used ATR 42 aircraft is also joining a whole family
concept with proven solutions for long term airline development,
towards larger capacity with the ATR 72, or higher performance and
comfort with the new -500 series.
