The first ATR 72-600 featuring the ATR HighLine “All-Business Class” configuration has touched down in Kuala Lumpur. ATR’s new cabin concept received certification from both EASA and the Malaysian authorities earlier this month, confirming its readiness for commercial operations worldwide.

This aircraft features an all–business class cabin, accommodating 26 seats in a  1-by-1 layout. The ETEREA seats by Geven are the widest ever installed on the ATR platform and offer generous living space and a personal side console with integrated stowage.

One of the cabin’s most distinctive elements is the ceiling, where overhead bins have been replaced by valence panels. This design opens up the cabin and gives the regional turboprop an ambiance similar to a private aircraft.
