With Wednesday's signature with the leasing company Nordic Aviation
Capital (NAC), ATR says it has 88 firm orders, plus 42

This brings ATR’s backlog to 233 aircraft worth some

years of production. “This is a totally outstanding and
historical air show for ATR," said Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive
Officer of ATR, declares. "Our list of customers, both airlines and
leasing companies, is dramatically increasing, and ATR aircraft are
today in almost 100 countries. This clearly underlines the ATR
product as the optimal solution for regional transportation. We are
pleased to welcome our new operators and customers, and we are
honored of the confidence that some others have placed in ATR for
years.”
