ATR has released its 2024 full-year results, showing growth in sales but a plateau in deliveries.
The regional turboprop manufacturer delivered USD 1.2 billion in revenues, a book-to-bill above 1, and recorded almost 100 transactions of second-hand aircraft. Meanwhile, customer support and services rose by 15% to USD 480 million.
56 aircraft were ordered, 51 ATR 72s and 5 ATR 42s, a 40% increase from 2023 and bringing the backlog to over 150. These aircraft were ordered by a range of new customers and existing operators, including new interest from Canadian operators and a peak in engagement from Asian carriers.
Following on from this, deliveries were on level with 2023 with 35 aircraft delivered and one ready to deliver. ATR doesn’t expect 2025 deliveries to increase on the 2024 figures due to ongoing supply chain issues.
“We worked through a challenging year in 2024, and I want to thank everyone, from our customers to my colleagues, who contributed to these results,” said Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, Chief Executive Officer of ATR. “In 2024 we doubled down on our core proposition of efficient, affordable connections. Our results show how relevant our aircraft are to our operators and to people across the world who want to connect, sustainably.”
“In 2024, we delivered what we said we would. We maintained delivery rates in tough conditions while welcoming 16 new operators, selling 56 aircraft, offering value-added services and streamlining operations to enhance the competitiveness of our products and the profitability of our customers. This continues to give ATR solid foundations for the future and shows that the regional market is eager to buy highly efficient aircraft with the right economics, the right capacity, and the right performance.”
