The ATR72 is a twin-engined turboprop developed from the ATR42 to provide capacity for 70 plus passengers, by stretching the fuselage, increasing the wingspan and upgrading to more powerful engines. The original ATR72-100 variant entered service in October 1989, but was soon superseded by the -200 model. The aircraft was developed with a series of upgrades to maximum take-off weight and engine power, culminating in the ATR72-212.
