Regional aircraft makers cash in at Paris

While Airbus and Boeing padded their already bulging backlogs with billions of dollars worth of deals during June’s Paris Air Show, manufacturers traditionally involved in the regional airliner market walked away from Le Bourget with some rather impressive order and commitment tallies of their own. ATR, for one, set a new record for itself in landing firm orders for 60 airplanes from five customers, making this Paris the Franco-Italian manufacturer’s most prolific airshow ever in terms of sales.

Having collected firm orders for 88 airplanes by the end of June, ATR also handily broke its first-semester record total of 63, set in 2007. Its backlog now stands at 233 aircraft, which accounts for some three years worth of production.
