After ending 2014 with record sales, deliveries and revenues, ATR is preparing to assemble 100 aircraft per year, a level where it expects production to stabilize. The Toulouse-based manufacturer last year received firm orders for 160 ATR 42/72-600 regional turboprops and its turnover amounted to $1.8 billion, it announced Wednesday in Paris at its annual press conference. The backlog stands at 280 aircraft, about 90 of which comes from the larger of the family’s two models, the ATR 72.
