Atr ATR-42-400
The ATR 42-400 was an intermediate version of the ATR 42 regional turboprop, bringing updates between the original -300 and later -500. It retained the high wing and efficient twin-turboprop layout that made the ATR successful on short regional routes. Only a small number were built.
