It's not just Airbus and Boeing getting orders at the Paris Air

With Wednesday's signature with the leasing company Nordic Aviation
Capital (NAC), ATR says it has 88 firm orders, plus 42
options, since the beginning of the year. This stes a new
record of sales announced at the Paris Air Show, with the previous
high being 53 orders and 15 options in 2007.

estimated at $2.8 billion.
During this week’s Paris Air Show, ATR has announced 60
new orders and 37 options. They join the 28 orders and 5 options
previously revealed this year. The addition of all has enabled ATR
to reach such an historical record of 88 firm orders and 42 options
at the Paris Air Show. Since the beginning of the program, ATR has
sold 1,162 aircraft and delivered 929.
This brings ATR’s backlog to 233 aircraft worth some
$5.4 billion. This order book translates to more than three
years of production. “This is a totally outstanding and
historical air show for ATR," said Filippo Bagnato, Chief Executive
Officer of ATR, declares. "Our list of customers, both airlines and
leasing companies, is dramatically increasing, and ATR aircraft are
today in almost 100 countries. This clearly underlines the ATR
product as the optimal solution for regional transportation. We are
pleased to welcome our new operators and customers, and we are
honored of the confidence that some others have placed in ATR for
years.”
