ATR 72-500

ATR 72-500 represents the latest generation of turboprop aircraft with comfort and performance. The 70-seat ATR 72-500 is known to be the best aircraft with turboprop engines. Powered by PW127 engines, which are also used to power ATR 42-500, the ATR 72-500 provides outstanding short-field performance for an aircraft of this size. The modernized new look, passenger cabins, ergonomic leather seats, and quieter than regional jets are the main features that make it the most comfortable aircraft for regional operations.
 
In the ATR 72-500 aircraft, a range of improvements in the field of noise and vibration has been implemented. The aircraft has an optimized, efficient, and technologically advanced acoustic treatment of the structure with the installation of Dynamic Vibration Absorbers and skin damping. A new look interior is engineered for maximum noise reduction and optimum comfort through new materials, absorbent panels, and carpets. There are large overhead bins including handrails to facilitate passengers and crew movement along with the cabin.
 
ATR 72-500 emits about 50% less CO₂ per passenger-km than new-generation jets and up to three times less CO₂ than older ones. Compared to a car, the ATR 72-500's carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions per seat/km on a 200-Nm (370 km) sector are 15% lower.
