About the ATR 72
The ATR 72 is one of the most widely flown regional turboprops, efficient on routes of up to a few hundred miles.
It suits large groups, events and island routes with shorter runways.
Is the ATR 72 Right for Your Trip?
Best For
- Trips of up to about 2 hours nonstop, such as Los Angeles to Aspen
- Up to 72 passengers
- Sports teams, bands and tours with a lot of equipment
Keep in Mind
- Airliners need longer runways than most business jets, so the choice of airport is narrower.
- Book well ahead: fewer airliners are available for charter, especially in sports seasons.
- Pricing is quoted for each trip; there is no instant estimate.
