ATR 72F

Dallas shippers and logistics operators running high-frequency regional freight lanes rely on the ATR 72F for its balance of capacity and runway accessibility across the Metroplex and the wider Southwest network. It carries a standard ULD palletized freight load on a pressurized main deck and covers routes inside a 900-nautical-mile radius without a fuel stop. A practical regional freighter for time-sensitive domestic cargo.

The ATR 72F is the freighter conversion of ATR’s twin-turboprop regional airliner, configured for containerized or bulk freight with a reinforced cargo floor and wide forward freight door. Its two Pratt and Whitney Canada PW127 turboprop engines deliver fuel efficiency that makes short legs economical. Pressurization keeps temperature-sensitive cargo stable on route. Typical payload capacity is approximately 9 metric tons. Every ATR 72F we arrange flies with an operator certified under FAR Part 135, the FAA rules for on-demand, for-hire charter.

Why the ATR 72F Fits Dallas

Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport (KAFW) in Fort Worth is a natural base for the ATR 72F in this market. With 11,125-foot runways, 24-hour operations, on-site customs, and FedEx and Amazon Air already calling it home, Alliance supports consistent regional turboprop freighter rotations with the ground infrastructure already in place. The ATR 72F can stage here and serve Dallas-area customers without the ATC workload of KDFW.

From the DFW area the ATR 72F covers the core Texas cargo triangle efficiently: Houston (approximately 240 nautical miles), San Antonio (approximately 245 nautical miles), and Midland-Odessa (approximately 300 nautical miles). Permian Basin energy companies in Midland and the Eagle Ford shale corridor have time-sensitive freight that fits an aircraft of this range and payload. It makes the run and turns around quickly.

For DFW-based distributors moving regional freight into northern Mexico, the ATR 72F reaches Monterrey (approximately 580 nautical miles) within its published range, with customs clearance available at KAFW or KDFW. It gives smaller shippers a freighter option that does not require the operating economics of a narrowbody jet.
