The right aircraft, not simply an available one.
Unlike an aircraft operator, we are not limited to one fleet. We compare the ATR 42-600 with hundreds of available aircraft to recommend the one that genuinely fits your mission.

At Artheau Aviation, we arrange ATR 42-600 charter flights for corporate travel, sports teams, events and other group transportation requirements.
The ATR 42-600 is a regional turboprop designed to transport up to 50 passengers efficiently on short- and medium-haul routes. Its combination
of capacity, operating efficiency and regional airport access makes it particularly suitable for dedicated group charter operations.
The aircraft is regularly chartered for corporate seminars, sports teams, incentive trips, events and dedicated flights to regional destinations. It also
provides an alternative when scheduled services cannot accommodate your group, itinerary or required departure times.
With approximately 1,345 km of range, the ATR 42-600 connects many regional destinations without requiring an intermediate fuel stop.
Its short-field capabilities also provide access to smaller airports, islands and remote destinations where larger airliners
may face operational constraints. As an air charter broker, we analyse each mission before recommending the ATR 42-600 for your group.
We compare passenger numbers, route distance, airport constraints, baggage requirements and operating costs to
identify the most suitable charter solution.
Chartering an ATR 42-600 allows your group to travel together on a schedule organised around your specific requirements.
We coordinate your aircraft, airports and departure times around your mission rather than the constraints of scheduled airline services.
The ATR 42-600 provides an efficient charter solution for groups requiring flexibility across short regional routes and less accessible destinations.
With capacity for up to 50 passengers, it offers an alternative to larger airliners when their additional seats are unnecessary.
Its cabin shares the same cross-section as the ATR 72, providing generous passenger space despite the aircraft’s more compact dimensions.
Its short-field performance extends charter possibilities to regional airports, islands and remote destinations with more demanding operating conditions.
This aircraft is particularly suited for:
• Sports teams and their staff,
• Companies organising seminars, incentive trips or regional roadshows,
• Event organisers transporting groups on dedicated schedules,
• Tour operators serving islands or remote destinations,
• Government or institutional delegations.
We recommend the ATR 42-600 for missions involving:
• Groups of approximately 20 to 50 passengers,
• Regional flights typically under two hours,
• Destinations with limited scheduled airline connections,
• Airports where a compact regional aircraft provides greater operational flexibility.
For larger groups or longer routes, we recommend another aircraft offering a better balance of capacity, range and charter cost.
The ATR 42 combines a spacious cabin with efficient regional performance and strong capabilities at airports with operational constraints.
Its cabin measures 2.57 metres wide and 1.91 metres high, sharing the same cross-section as the larger ATR 72.
Depending on the operator and configuration, the aircraft can accommodate up to 50 passengers in a standard charter layout.
Its baggage compartments provide approximately 11.3 m³ of capacity, offering useful storage for groups travelling with luggage or equipment.
Its short-field capabilities extend charter possibilities to smaller regional airports, bringing passengers closer to destinations with limited scheduled connections.
The ATR 42 also benefits from modern technology:
• Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M turboprop engines, designed for efficient regional operations,
• A Thales glass cockpit equipped with five LCD displays,
• Six-blade propellers designed to improve aerodynamic efficiency and reduce noise.
Depending on the operator, different cabin layouts may be available to accommodate specific passenger, baggage or equipment requirements.
Certain ATR 42 aircraft can also offer combined passenger and cargo configurations for missions requiring additional equipment or freight capacity.
The ATR 42 is particularly suited to group missions requiring a dedicated schedule and connections to less accessible regional destinations.
For corporate travel, the aircraft provides a practical solution for companies moving teams between cities with limited scheduled airline connections.
It is particularly relevant for:
• Corporate seminars and incentive trips,
• Multi-city roadshows across regional destinations,
• Factory, industrial site or project visits.
Sports teams can charter the ATR 42 to transport players, coaching staff and equipment according to competition or training schedules. Its capacity is particularly suitable for smaller squads that do not require the additional seats offered by larger regional airliners.
For event organisers and tour operators, the aircraft can provide direct connections to islands, resorts and destinations outside major airline networks.
A dedicated charter also allows departure times to follow the event programme, simplifying transportation for passengers travelling as one group.
Government and institutional delegations can use the ATR 42 for regional missions requiring dedicated schedules and access to secondary airports.
At Artheau Aviation, we recommend the ATR 42 when your mission requires:
• A dedicated aircraft for approximately 20 to 50 passengers,
• Direct connections to regional or less accessible destinations,
• A schedule organised around your group rather than scheduled services.
For larger groups or longer routes, we recommend an aircraft offering a more suitable balance between capacity, range and charter cost.
The ATR 42 was the first aircraft developed by ATR and established the manufacturer’s position in the regional aviation market. ATR was founded in 1981 as a joint venture between France’s Aérospatiale, now part of Airbus, and Italy’s Aeritalia, now Leonardo.
The original ATR 42 entered commercial service in 1985, providing airlines with an efficient aircraft designed specifically for regional connections. Over successive generations, the ATR 42 evolved with improvements in avionics, operational efficiency, passenger comfort and overall aircraft performance.
The latest generation introduced a modernised platform focused on three main objectives:
• Modernising the cockpit and avionics,
• Improving fuel and operational efficiency,
• Reducing operating costs on regional routes.
Today, the ATR 42 remains an established aircraft for regional operations, particularly where larger airliners provide unnecessary capacity.
Its different generations are recognised for:
• Efficient operating economics on short regional flights,
• Strong performance at airports with operational constraints,
• A wide cabin offering practical space for passengers.
For group charter, the ATR 42 combines suitable passenger capacity with the flexibility required for dedicated regional operations.
These characteristics make it particularly relevant for:
• Corporate group travel,
• Sports teams and their staff,
• Event and incentive travel,
• Tour operators serving islands and remote destinations.
The ATR 42 is an efficient regional charter solution, but its capacity and performance may not suit every group mission.
Each charter project requires a tailored analysis to determine which aircraft provides the best balance for your specific requirements.
We consider several factors before making our recommendation:
• Number of passengers,
• Distance to travel,
• Airport constraints,
• Baggage and equipment requirements,
• Required schedule,
• Budget.
For groups below 20 passengers, a smaller regional aircraft may provide a better balance between capacity and overall charter cost. When passenger numbers exceed 50, the ATR 72 offers additional capacity while retaining the operational advantages of a regional turboprop.
For longer routes, the Embraer ERJ 145 provides greater cruise speed and range while accommodating a similar number of passengers. Larger groups or longer missions may require a regional jet or narrow-body airliner with additional capacity, range and baggage space.
At Artheau Aviation, we recommend the ATR 42 only when its characteristics correspond to the requirements of your mission. We analyse your itinerary, passenger numbers, airport constraints and logistical requirements before identifying the most appropriate aircraft for your group.
Our objective is to provide the best balance between capacity, performance, operational flexibility and overall charter cost.
Share your departure and arrival airports, preferred travel dates, passenger numbers and any specific requirements related to your group.
Please also specify catering, ground transportation, baggage or equipment requirements so we can anticipate any operational constraints before departure.
If the ATR 42 is not suitable, we recommend an alternative based on your itinerary, group size and budget.
