ATR senior vice president commercial John Moore has seen his share of ups and downs in this business, but never since he joined the company a decade ago had he experienced a year like last year, when ATR logged firm orders for 90 airplanes and reported a 15-percent increase in revenues, to $542 million. Last year’s haul equaled 1998 sales, and order figures ranked second only to ATR’s all-time record of 107 aircraft in 1989.

Asia accounted for two-thirds of last year’s sales, and 50 of the 61 ATRs ordered in the region came from two major Indian operators–Air Deccan, which ordered 30 ATR 72-500s, and Kingfisher Airlines, which signed for another 20.
