The Plane That Can’t Fly in the Cold: The Story of the ATR 42 & 72

The ATR 42 and ATR 72 are two of the most successful regional aircraft ever built… yet they’re also known for one of the strangest reputations in modern aviation: being “the plane that can’t fly in the cold.” In today’s episode of A Brief History, I’m taking a deep dive into how ATR became a global regional workhorse, why airlines love it, and where its controversial cold-weather reputation actually came from. We’ll look at the early development of the ATR 42, the rise of the larger ATR 72, the tragic icing accidents of the 1990s, and how those events changed icing certification standards across the entire industry. Whether you’ve flown on an ATR, avoided one, or barely even heard of it, this is a story worth knowing. Have you flown on an ATR 42 or 72? Would you trust one in winter?
