A notice: Every Aviationtag is unique. Depending on the plane, they differ in their feel, thickness of the material and color. Small bumps tell of the many years in the air and express the character of days gone by. Minor scratches, paint chips and bumps are completely normal and give the Aviationtag its special charm - that of a vintage product made from upcycled materials. These special features did not arise from the production process, but rather reflect the condition of the aircraft material used!
When used as a key ring or as a luggage tag, we recommend using the Aviationtag protective cover.
ATR 72-212: The ATR 72 is a turboprop regional airliner manufactured by the French-Italian consortium Avions de Transport Régional for short-haul cargo and passenger services. It was developed from the shorter ATR 42. In January 1986 the ATR 72 was officially presented and in 1989 the Finnish Karai the first ATR 72-100.
The ATR 72 is the 4.5 m stretched version of the ATR 42. Like this, it is equipped with two turboprop engines. In addition to the extended passenger compartment, the wings were also enlarged. Since the aircraft's tanks are located in the wings, the ATR 72 also has a larger tank and therefore a longer range.
The maximum range is a good 1,300KM and the maximum speed is 511 KM/H. Cabo Verde Airlines D4-CBU had a single cabin configuration with 68 seats.
