Historical Background

The ATR 72-200 is part of the ATR family of regional turboprop aircraft developed jointly by Aérospatiale of France and Aeritalia of Italy. Entering service in the late 1980s, the ATR 72 was designed to provide efficient, reliable short-haul transport with lower operating costs than comparable jet aircraft. It quickly became a popular choice for regional airlines due to its ability to operate from shorter runways and its strong fuel efficiency on low-density routes.

Danish Air Transport (DAT), founded in 1989, originally operated as a cargo airline before expanding into passenger and charter services. Over time, DAT developed a reputation for its colourful aircraft liveries and flexible regional operations across Denmark, Germany, Italy and Norway. The ATR 72-200 played an important role in its passenger network, supporting short-haul routes and connecting smaller regional airports. The aircraft type remains closely associated with DAT’s development into a versatile European regional carrier.
