What is a freighter aircraft?

A freighter, also referred to as a cargo aircraft, is an aircraft specifically designed and used for transporting goods and cargo rather than passengers. These aircraft are equipped with spacious cargo holds and loading systems to efficiently carry various types of cargo, such as packages, pallets, and oversized or heavy items. Freighters play a crucial role in the logistics and transportation industry by facilitating the movement of goods around the world.
As express e-commerce continues to grow, regional freighters are ideal to provide fast, economical and low-emission solutions to transport and logistic companies in small and medium-sized areas.

Virtual cargo hold tour

With a luminosity of 86 lux in the cargo hold, the standard has been more than doubled compared to previous generations. Please note this is a virtual tour without nets but you can have 9 vertical ones in bulk configuration.

A versatile platform

The unique capability to carry both bulk and industry-standard unit load devices makes the ATR 72-600F a highly versatile aircraft. Bulk configuration helps in optimising available volume and cargo loading thanks to the nine vertical nets and attachment points on the floor and lateral tracks. Thanks to the large cargo door and wide cross section, the ATR 72-600F is able to accommodate industry standard unit load devices and interline with larger freighters.

Unique continuous cockpit innovation for optimal operations

The ATR-600 series’ full glass cockpit offers to pilots a simple working environment. It has raised the bar in human-machine interfaces offering a high level of comfort and demonstrable efficiency gains.

Navigation, communication and surveillance functions are integrated into a modular avionics architecture. This state-of-the-art philosophy is open and evolutionary to allow new software and hardware functionalities to be inserted in the future independently: continuous development is the ATR DNA.
