MAY 17, 2004): ATR is currently launching its Ageing Structure Programm for its ATR 42 and ATR 72 aircraft to prolong the operational life of the aircraft.
The programme will ansure that the lifespan is extended from the current 70,000 to 105,000 cycles.
At an average annual utilisation of 2,500 flight hours, this would ensure the aircraft's economic life to well over 40 years.
The life-prolonging programme will cover all ATR aircraft models
