ATR 72-600 high-density cabin

Hi, I’ve noticed the ATR 72-600 is limited to 74 seats, even though it’s certified for up to 78 (since 2015), as Cebu Pacific operates. I have an LCC in-game, so would love to simulate that.

For reference: https://www.atr-aircraft.com/presspost/atr-receives-easa-certification-for-high-density-cabin-layout/

I hope there aren’t any technical reasons preventing an update. :slight_smile:

Thanks!

Would benefit those who want to provide low cost service to not so many passengers

The PR states “The option will also be available as a retrofit.”, so I read this as being a variant that likely costs a premium and isn’t the default for all ATR 72-600s. But haven’t looked into it. Maybe @Priller will once he touches the ATR series for performance updates.

It would have to be a separate model in AS with it being a conversion option due to cargo and capacity changing. I’ll take a look when I get around to the ATR family of aircraft.
