Description: BAe ATP (Advanced Turboprop) is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft well suited for operation within the regional segment in the 50-seat category. Two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW126 turboprops each rated at 2,388-shp drive a six-bladed propellers. BAe ATP is able to carry up to 68 passengers at ranges of up to 900 kilometers while cruising at 480 kph. All in, BAe Systems built 62 aircraft between 1986 and 1994 when production ended. The first BAe ATP entered commercial service in 1988. Currently, BAe Systems is leasing a portfolio of 40 aircraft to carriers in Europe and Asia.

In addition to the BAe ATP Passenger variant BAe Systems developed a Freighter conversion program known as the BAe ATP Freighter (ATPF). ATPF is capable of carrying an eight-ton payload. The launch customer for BAe ATP Freighter was West Air Sweden which converted five passenger aircraft into bulk freighters to complement its BAe 748 turboprop freighter fleet. Subsequently West Air Sweden converted another five ATPs. In 2004 the ATPF incorporated a new large cargo door based on the BAe 748 freight door. British carrier Emerald Airways also ordered the ATPF in 2004. In May 2006, Netherlands-based MagicBird Airlines leased two ATP freighters from BAE Systems Regional Aircraft.
