ATR revealed yesterday that Brazilian carrier Azul Lanhas Aéreas had signed up for another 10 ATR 72-600s, and that the European turboprop manufacturer, in a gradual “strip tease” of show orders, will have announced customers for a total of 78 additional aircraft–worth $2.4 billion at list prices–by the time the trade days are over. ATR chief executive Fillipo Bagnato indicated that he liked the strip-tease approach.

ATR will end up with its highest backlog ever, said Bagnato: 223 aircraft worth a total of $5 billion, representing three years of production. It has delivered 929 of 1,152 aircraft ordered, some 40 percent which have been placed since 2005. It intends to reveal two more -600 customers before the show is over.
