Airfinance poll ranks ATR number one in turbotrops
Toulouse, 07 November 2000
Investors and operators, polled by Airfinance Journal, have awarded ATR the number one position in the turboprop market, and this for the second consecutive year.
The poll, entitled this year "Jets fail to kill props", was published in the Journal's October edition and has investors and operators ranked individual aircraft models on the basis of five criteria: operational success, investor appeal, re-marketing potential, residual value and value for money.
Both the operators and investors ranked ATR high above all of its competitors, confirming ATR's leadership in the turboprop market.
In addition, in the overall operators' poll (jet and turboprops), the ATR was ranked as the number two regional aircraft.
"The ATR 72 beat many of the regional jets, a result that throws caution on the much-heralded death of the turboprop" said Airfinance Journal "props still have a role to play on the growth of the regional airlines and routes." Airfinance Journal concludes that "Maybe the airlines which have committed themselves to an all-jet fleet in the belief that that is what the public demands should re-evaluate."
To date ATR has sold 631 aircraft (365 ATR 42 et 266 ATR 72) to more than 100 airlines in 65 countries.
