On the occasion of the Singapore Airshow, ATR and Lao Airlines -the flag carrier of Laos- today unveiled the purchase of a new ATR 72-500. This aircraft is the first ‘-500 series' ATR for the airline, which already operates two ATR 72-200.
This new 70-seat ATR will be equipped with the "Elegance" cabin, new PW 127M engines and Light Emitting Diode (LED). The aircraft will be also equipped with state-of-the-art technological innovations in passenger comfort, communications and navigation aid tools. The aircraft will be delivered in 2009.
ATR reached in 2007 a record year with orders for 113 new aircraft. Since the beginning of the programme, ATR has sold 953 aircraft (417 ATR 42s and 536 ATR 72s) and has delivered 757 (397 ATR 42s and 360 ATR 72s), thus posting a current backlog of 196 aircraft.
