Technical Capabilities

The ATR-72 carries up to 16,534 lbs (7,500 kg) of revenue payload. The seating capacity of ATR-72 is 64 passengers and its cruise speed is 265 knots (490 km/hour). The ATR-72 is a twin-engine turboprop airliner, which means that it’s powered by quiet and efficient propellers rather than turbojets. This makes it ideal for shorter flights where speeds below 725 km/h are required. The engines are manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada.
