ATR, stable revenues in 2025 but deliveries below target

A 20% increase in deliveries in 2026 after a year that saw the ATR consortium (50% Airbus and 50% Leonardo) of regional turboprop aircraft stop at 32 aircraft leaving the Toulouse plants. A figure below the initial target, the consequence of a further year of supply chain criticality affecting the supply of key components, a problem that is affecting all manufacturers from Airbus to Boeing.

The consortium, which presented its results for 2025, showed a solid order book with 60 aircraft acquired and net orders for 50 aircraft, bringing the backlog to over 160. 2025 was a 'dynamic' year in terms of leasing with more than 10 new aircraft leased, but second-hand aircraft were also particularly active with contracts for more than 90 aircraft.

revenues remained stable at USD 1.2 billion and customer services reached USD 538 million. There were 19 new entrants to ATR's portfolio in a dynamic leasing market with more than 10 new aircraft leased but second-hand aircraft were also particularly active with contracts for more than 90 aircraft. . "We do not measure the success of a transitional year like 2025 by a single number," said Nathalie Tarnaud Laude, ATR's CEO in a note. "We are determined to increase the pace of deliveries and for this we have been working on concrete actions to address the critical issues that have limited our production capacity

"Demand for our aircraft is strong and regional operators are demanding more capacity," said Alexis Vidal, SVP commercial at ATR. Looking ahead to 2026, ATR expects regional mobility to continue to grow, driven by modal shift from land to air transport in emerging economies, the need for greater network connectivity in mature markets and the development of ATR's luxury class of aircraft.

The ATR consortium, an equal joint venture between Leonardo and Airbus, is the world's leading manufacturer of turboprop aircraft for regional transport in the 90-seat segment. Leonardo is responsible for the entire fuselage (made in Pomigliano D'Arco-Naples) and the tailpipes (made in Puglia in Foggia), the latter being made of composite material: since the programme started in 1981, Leonardo has produced 1,700 fuselages and tailpipes for the ATR family.
