Heaven Or Hell? Europe’s 4-Hour Non-Stop ATR 72 Service

The ATR 72 is renowned for low operating costs and relatively slow speeds. In contrast to the Dash 8-Q400, it is best deployed on routes where speed and the resulting higher fuel burn are less important. The latest Cirium Diio information shows that a typical European ATR 72 passenger flight covers just 155 nautical miles (287 km) this year.
