Dasa/Atr Mou to Curb Competition:
Deutsche Aerospace (DASA), Aerospatiale and Aeritalia (the ATR consortium) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to prohibit direct competition between the two parties in future civil aircraft projects.
The agreement will mean that DASA, which is responsible for the 19 seat Dornier 228 and 30 seat 328, will not expand into ATR’s 42 seat and 72 seat markets, and vice versa. The two parties are in agreement that this is the best move so that each can retain their market shares in the small airliner categories in which each specialises.
