TESTIMONIALS
Mr. Noel Prosser,
Toll Air Expresss general manager says:
The ATR was a proven aircraft in the 5000 to 7000 kg uplift
range.Toll was looking for mid-size turbine aircraft with
proven reliability, fuel efficiency and easy to load/upload.
After consultation with ATR and a review of other global
freighter operators, the ATR 42-300 was best suited to the Toll
operations. Also, we were looking to loose load the cargo and
maximise cubic capacity. This meant the high wing and two
door entries were very attractive.
Mr. Hugh Flynn,
ASL CEO says:
The ATR has demonstrated superior reliability and is
well suited to the modern requirements for a low noise,
fuel efficient turboprop aircraft in the 5-9 tons market. Air
contractor is certified to operate aircraft in CAT II conditions
allowing the aircraft to operate in challenging weather
conditions.
