Avions de Transport Regional (ATR) announced early last month that it is launching -600 series versions of its ATR 42 and 72 twin turboprop regional airliners. The aircraft are to be “progressively introduced” during the second half of 2010.

The new models will feature what ATR CEO Stéphane Mayer described as “the most up-to-date integrated avionics for a turboprop”: more powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M engines, greater payload and performance (including for hot-and-high operations) and LED lighting inside the cabin and externally for navigation and anti-collision lights.
