Romanian flag carrier Tarom took delivery of its first ATR 72-500 last month under the terms of a $37 million contract it signed last year for two of the twin turboprops. The airline currently operates a fleet of seven ATR 42-500s and will take delivery of its second new ATR 72 later this year.

Configured in a 68-seat layout and powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M engines, the aircraft also came equipped with ATR’s “Elegance” cabin, featuring Aviointeriors’ Futura leather seats.
