Aircraft manufacturer ATR has unveiled five new cabins for its HighLine range, combining “style and comfort” across all of its low-emission -600 aircraft.
On the occasion of Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, the Franco-Italian aircraft manufacturer presented on June 6, 2023 ATR HighLine collection which that features five main cabin configurations, each tailored to meet specific requirements and preferences. The turboprop manufacturer’s target are companies, wealthy individuals and heads of state.
1. Multi-Class: This layout offers a spacious cabin with 50 seats, including a dedicated first-class section. It is ideal for airlines aiming to provide a premium flying experience to their guests.
2. Premium-Flex: Designed for boutique airlines and charter operators, this cabin configuration allows for quick conversion of standard double-seats into single premium seating. ATR’s unique “X-Space Table” concept adds flexibility to the cabin, providing an enhanced experience for passengers.
3. All-Business Class: This cabin layout can accommodate up to 30 guests and caters to the needs of Part 135 and semi-private airlines. It offers a luxurious and exclusive environment for discerning travelers.
4. Multi-Section: This cabin configuration is specifically designed to transport heads of state and government representatives. With separate sections, including conference rooms, it ensures privacy and functionality for high-profile passengers.
5. Bespoke VIP: The ultimate in luxury, the Bespoke VIP cabin can be customized to reflect personal lifestyles, operator requirements, or high-end destinations. It provides a truly luxurious and tailored experience for VIP passengers.
In addition to offering unparalleled comfort and style, the ATR HighLine cabins align with ATR’s commitment to environmental sustainability. ATR aircraft burn 45% less fuel and emit 45% less CO2 compared to regional jets, making them a responsible choice for commercial and business aviation operators.
Tarek Ben Omrane, ATR’s Head of Business Development, highlighted the company’s goal to revolutionize the regional travel industry by creating an exceptional onboard atmosphere while utilizing the lowest emission technology available.
With the ATR HighLine cabins, ATR aircraft offer the same cabin size as the largest business jets while reducing carbon emissions by half. ATR is proud to be the only aircraft manufacturer in the world to provide this unique combination.
ATR’s focus on luxury turboprop interiors is aimed at attracting companies, wealthy individuals, and heads of state. The resurgence of interest in turboprop aircraft, with their lower CO2 emissions, has made them increasingly appealing for business aviation.
Among the HighLine cabin concepts, the “Bespoke VIP” stands out, as it can be fully customized to meet specific operator requirements. The cabin offers lounge seats, tables, and sofas, creating a sophisticated and personalized environment for VIP passengers.
Another notable configuration is the Multi-Section cabin, specially designed to cater to heads of state and senior government officials. The cabin allows for the separation of individual compartments, offering versatility and privacy. It can serve as a conference room or accommodate various departments within the aircraft.
The remaining cabin layouts in the ATR HighLine collection include Multi-Class, which provides a spacious layout with dedicated space for first-class passengers, Premium-Flex, enabling the conversion of standard seats into premium single seats, and All-Business Class, offering a cabin equipped with 30 business class seats.
