ATR Readies for U.S. Resurgence with Miami Training Center
The facility, located at the Airbus training premises, houses a CAE-built FAA and EASA level-D ATR 42/62-600 simulator and classrooms.

ATR's recent opening of a new training center for its -600 series turboprop twins in Miami marked the first such move for the company in the Americas, where some 260 ATRs—including seventy-five 600-series models—now fly. In Latin America and the Caribbean alone, the ATR fleet has doubled within the last decade, and the company expects the number of 600-series airplanes to exceed 100 within the next three years. Still lacking a U.S. customer for the 600, however, it believes the move to Miami will help rekindle interest in the States as well.
