ATR 72
The ATR 72 provides all of the benefits of the ATR 42, while increasing the carrying capacity to almost double the ATR 42. This stretched version of the ATR 42 is perfect for carrying groups of up to 34 with a cargo payload equivalent to an ATR 42 freighter. With large cargo door capacity it is an efficient freighter for the northern market. It also provides a midsize passenger aircraft capable of carrying up to 60 passengers in a full passenger configuration.
