ATR 42-500

The ATR 42-500 is the faster, quieter version of ATR's 48-seat regional airliner. It has six-blade propellers, more power, and a cabin treated for noise and vibration. Ours, HB-ALN, is based at Basel EuroAirport. From there it flies government and military rotations, sports teams, tour groups and relief flights.

Six blades

Hamilton Sundstrand 568F propellers, with PW127F engines behind them. Six blades instead of four means a smoother, quieter ride.

300 knots

Basel to Pristina in about two and a half hours.

Room for kit

9.6 m³ in the holds, 12.25 m³ with the overhead bins, which take items up to 2 m long.

Three countries at the door

Basel EuroAirport serves Switzerland, France and Germany from one terminal.
