ATR celebrated its second major order in as many days today, as EVA Air subsidiary UNI Air signed a contract with the Franco-Italian turboprop manufacturer to buy 10 ATR 72-600s during a ceremony at its home base in Taiwan. ATR plans to start delivering the airplanes during the third quarter of 2012.

UNI Air plans to replace its aging de Havilland Dash 8-300s with the latest variant of the ATR 72 family, equipped with a new Thales avionics suite, a new interior and more powerful Pratt & Whitney PW127M engines.
