Alongside these results were sales of a total of 195 aircraft (89 firm orders and 106 options), giving ATR a backlog of 221 firm aircraft orders as of December 31, 2013. The 89 firm sales, along with 106 options, came from 14 clients.

For over the past five years, ATR has accounted for nearly 85% of sales of all aircraft under 90 seats in the regions of Latin America and the fastest-growing countries in Southeast Asia, confirming their attractiveness to regional companies for developing their short-haul networks. 

In recent years ATRs have established a clear position as one of the best selling aircraft with under 90 seats among all regional aircraft (35% of total sales since 2010). These sales have helped position the ATR 600's as the new benchmark for regional aviation thanks to their cutting edge technology, avant-garde comfort and economical and ecological performance.

The 74 deliveries made in 2013 represent not only a new annual record, but also highlight the dramatic increase in the rate of deliveries, responding to the strong demand for ATRs worldwide. These 74 new ATR '-600's in service account for nearly half of all new aircraft with up to 90 seats delivered during 2013. To date, over 130 ATRs from the -600 series are already in operation.
