Tarom signs up for three more ATRs



Romanian flag-carrier, Tarom, has signed a firm order for three ATR 72-600 turboprops as it continues to modernize its fleet.

The deal will also see the airline up-gauge its current 48-seat ATR 42-500 fleet to the larger 72-seat ATR 72-600.

Tarom’s website lists the company as having seven of the earlier-generation ATR 42-500s plus two ATR 72-500s.

“Having been an ATR pilot, I have witnessed first-hand, the importance of the connectivity that they provide,” Tarom CEO Catalin Prunariu said. “They are an essential link to communities all over Romania. As a CEO, I also see the value of their efficiency and flexibility.

Tarom’s fleet of 42-500s “have proved the viability of domestic routes throughout Romania and delivered valuable connections for local communities”, said ATR CEO Stefano Bortoli. “They will use the new aircraft to offer more routes and more seats, which in turn helps the communities that they serve to grow thanks to these connections.”
