ATR Makes Case for Maintaining Output at 80 Airplanes
Order involving Silver Airways boosts prospects in U.S.

ATR, the regional turboprop builder co-owned by Airbus and Italy’s Leonardo Group, views the near future with growing confidence. “We will deliver roughly the same number of planes this year as in 2016, or about 80 aircraft,” said Christian Scherer, who has served as CEO of ATR since November 2016. He was addressing a recent press event with a group of French aviation journalists.
