Three Indian airlines are operating a total of 24 ATR aircraft in India: Jet Airways, Alliance Air and Air Deccan.
-
ATR has been present in India since October 1999 when the domestic airline Jet Airways took delivery of its first ATR 72-500 aircraft. The airline currently operates eight ATR 72-500 aircraft.
-
At the end of November 2002, ATR signed a lease agreement with Alliance Air, the regional subsidiary of the national carrier Indian Airlines for four ATR 42-320s. Alliance Air started operating the ATR aircraft in December 2002.
-
Air Deccan, the first Indian low-cost airline, started its operations with four second-hand ATR 42s in August 2003. The Deccan ATR fleet has now grown to 12 ATR 42 aircraft.
In January 2005, ATR has been selected by Air Deccan to provide 30 new ATR 72-500 aircraft and six second-hand aircraft (3 ATR 42-500s and 3 ATR 72-500s). The ATR 72-500 aircraft will be delivered in a 72-seat configuration.
ATR aircraft are very well adapted for feeder routes in India and can access most of the airports unable to be operated by jets. Furthermore, they have the lowest cost per seat mile of the 50- to 70-seat regional aircraft.
ATR currently holds a market share in India of 60% in the 20 to 90-seat regional market and of the turboprop sector the market share is 73%.
More than 670 ATR aircraft have been delivered in the world to date and 118 operators currently operate ATRs in more than 70 countries.
Toulouse, France-based ATR is the world leader in the 50 to 70-seat turboprop market. ATR is an equal partnership between Alenia Aeronautica (Finmeccanica group) and EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company).
