In a conversation with ET Infra’s aviation correspondent Dev Kachari, Jean-Pierre Clercin, Head of Commercial for Asia Pacific, ATR, outlined that the UDAN scheme has been a ‘World Class’ solution and a much smarter way of stimulating air travel, compared to similar schemes launched by other countries.


ATR, a Franco-Italian regional aircraft manufacturer, through its 72-seater ATR 72-600 is playing a key role in connecting remote regions in the country under the viability gap funding enabled UDAN scheme. ATR clients in India include IndiGo, Alliance Air and newcomer FLY91, which started operations in March.

Joining from ‘Singapore Airshow 2024’, Jean-Pierre shared that ATR expects to end 2024 with a fleet of over 70 aircraft in India, with IndiGo expected to receive additional five ATR aircraft.
