In 2025, ATR recorded a notable rise in aircraft orders, achieving a net increase of 50 units and bringing its total backlog to over 160 aircraft. The company’s gross order intake for the year matched this figure, coming from nine different customers across nine countries. Notably, commitments included 16 ATR 72-600s for Air Algérie and 19 for UNI Air, reflecting strong regional demand.
During a dedicated press conference, ATR announced it sold to 19 new operators worldwide and leased 10 new aircraft through lessors’ order books. The year also saw a surge in secondary market transactions with over 90 deals completed. Customer support revenues reached US$538 million, contributing to total revenues of US$1.2 billion for the company.
Significant Fleet and Industrial Developments
The year marked key milestones, especially in North America, with JSX in the United States launching public charter flights using ATR 42-600 aircraft. Additionally, the first ATR 600 series aircraft was certified and delivered in Canada to Rise Air, illustrating expansion in North American markets.
“2025 was a transition year,” stated Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, ATR’s CEO. “While the year’s success is not measured by a single number, we are committed to increasing our delivery rate through organizational enhancements and industrial system improvements, aiming for sustainable growth from 2026 onward.”
Continuing its investments, ATR focused on stabilizing its industrial processes — including improving assembly line flow, reopening stations, and reducing part shortages to a third of early 2025 levels. Collaboration with suppliers aims to increase deliveries by 20% in 2026 compared to the previous year, setting a solid foundation for future expansion.
