The ATR 42 is a twin-turboprop, short-haul regional airliner built in France and Italy by ATR Aerei da Trasporto Regionale or Avions de Transport Régional. ATR and some Airbus models have their final assembly in Toulouse, and share resources and technology. The name " comes from the aircraft's standard seating, which varies from to The aircraft was the basis for the The ATR was developed from the ATR in order to increase the seating capacity by stretching the fuselage by metres , increasing the wingspan, adding more powerful engines, and increasing fuel capacity by approximately 10 percent. The was announced in and made its maiden flight on October Exactly one year after that, on October 1989, Finnair became the first airline to put the aircraft into service.

DesignOn October ATR CEO Stéphane Mayer, announced the launch of the new series aircraft at a Press Conference held in Washington, D.C..
The new ATR and ATR will feature the latest technological enhancements while building upon the well-known advantages of the current aircraft, namely its high efficiency, proven dispatch reliability, low fuel burn and operating cost. It will include the new PW127M as standard engine (new engines provide additional thermodynamic power at takeoff, thus improving performance on short runways, in hot weather and at high altitude. The incorporation of the “boost function” enables use of this additional power as needed, only when called for by the takeoff conditions. glass cockpit flight deck featuring five wide LCD screens that will replace the current EFIS Electronic Flight instrument System. In addition, a multi-purpose computer will further enhance Flight Safety and operational capabilities. The new avionics, to be supplied by Thales, will also provide RNP capabilities. It will also include the new lighter and more comfortable seats and larger overhead baggage bins. The series ATR aircraft were introduced during the second half of 2010.The ATR Series launch customer is Royal Air Maroc Express (deliveries begin in July

ATR ASW
The ATR ASW integrates the ATR 42 MP (Maritime Patrol) mission system with the same on-board equipment but with additional ASW capabilities. An anti-submarine warfare (ASW) variant of the −500 (itself a version of the maritime patrol variant of the ATR 42– is also in production[14] and has been selected by Turkish Navy and Italian Navy for ASW and anti-surface warfare (ASuW) duties. Ten aircraft will be delivered to the Turkish Navy beginning in 2010. Italy's order of four aircraft will begin deliveries in For ASW and ASuW missions, the aircraft will be armed with a pod-mounted machine gun, lightweight aerial torpedoes, anti-surface missiles, and depth charges. They will also be equipped with the AMASCOS (Airborne Maritime Situation and Control System) maritime surveillance system of Thales, as well as electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems, and will also be used for maritime search and rescue operati
A VIP version of the −500 is available with a luxury interior for executive or corporate transport.
During the mid-1980s, the company investigated a 78 seat derivative of the ATR 72. This would have been powered by two Allison AE2100 turboprops (turbofans were also studied for a time) and would have had a cruising speed as high as 330kt.
