irst ATR 72 Freighter delivery oc-
curred on July 2002 to the Swiss
company Farnair, followed by the rst
ATR 42 with Large Cargo Door delive-
red to Northern Air Cargo.
By January 2005, less than three years
later, 56 ATR passenger to freighter
conversions have been performed or
are on order ; regional or feeder opera-
tors are spread worldwide.
There are several ATR cargo conver-
sions but the most effective, including a
Largo Cargo Door, is certified through a
STC held by Alenia, the Original Equip-
ment Manufacturer (OEM) of ATR fuse-
lage.
The manufacturing and installation
of the bulk conversion and the Large
Cargo Door is performed by Officine
Aeronavali (OAN), an internationally
established firm for cargo conversion
integration.
Market Trends
ATR Freighter appeal is explained by
the specific conditions that drive cargo

ment, boosted by e-commerce : > 20%
yearly growth
Increasing demand for modules of
ATR size as feeders for large integra-
tors (FedEx, UPS, DHL)
Ageing cargo fleet in this category
Excellent ATR characteristics allow-
ing LD3 containers and 88 width pal-
let accommodation with Large Cargo
Door
Growing availability of ATR a/c on

9g Front Net
According to the regulation, a 9 g front
net is required to prevent cargo from
blocking cockpit access.
To simplify loading operation the net is
divided in two parts mutually secured
through quick connection devices.
Installation time is less than 3 min (one
person).
Capabilities
The widest cross-section in its category
plus the large cargo door :
allows standard container & pallet
operations
allows oversized bulk freight load-
ing
allows flexible operational use with
the capability to carry unit load devices
(ULD) and bulk simultaneously or alter-
natively.
ATR is the only turboprop capable of
carrying 88 wide container or pallet.
Other standard ULD, such as LD3, can
be carried as well.
Containers can be directly interlined
between large freighters (B747,
A300) and ATR, avoiding the long
and expensive transfer from large to
smaller containers.
A cargo loading system is available for
container & pallet loading.
Containers & Pallets

below ICAO Annex 16 Ch. 3 and Ch. 4
requirements
Exceptionnally low fuel consumption
and minimum exhaust emissions.
