ATR – regional aircraft manufacturer announced its next-generation aircraft – ATR ‘EVO’. The next-generation aircraft aims to encompass innovative technologies to enable significant improvements in performance, economics and sustainability. Incorporating a new eco-design that includes new propellers and enhanced cabin and systems, it will remain a two-engine turboprop that can be powered by 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The manufacturer aims to launch the program by 2023.
The ATR ‘EVO’ will be even more economical, with double-digit operating cost savings achieved in particular through 20% lower fuel burn and 20% overall maintenance cost reduction. This means airlines can serve thin routes more profitably, and communities can benefit from more connectivity, more essential services, and more economic development. – Fabrice Vautier, SVP Commercial, ATR.
