The Italian-French based aircraft manufacturer Aerei da Trasporto Regionale or Avions de Transport Régional (ATR) was formed in 1981 by Aérospatiale of France (now EADS) and Aeritalia (now Alenia Aeronautica), of Italy.[1]
Its primary products are the ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft.
Alenia Aeronautica's manufacturing facilities in Pomigliano near Naples, Italy, produce the aircraft fuselage and tail sections.
Aircraft wings are assembled at EADS Sogerma Services in Bordeaux in western France for Airbus France. Final assembly, flight-testing, certification and deliveries are the responsibility of ATR in Toulouse, France.[2]
