ATR has turned its attention to the U.S. market for its 600-series turboprops after several years of absence from scheduled service. As if to underscore the seriousness of its new marketing effort, it took an ATR 72-600 on a nine-city demonstration tour of North America this past spring, including a stop at the annual Regional Airline Association convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
