Bortoli will replace Christian Scherer, who was promoted to Airbus CCO last week, succeeding Eric Schulz, who quit “for personal reasons” less than a year into his tenure.
ATR said Bortoli had “a deep knowledge and understanding of the company, the aviation industry and the regional market”, having previously held various top management positions at the turboprop manufacturer.
“I thank Christian for the crucial contributions he has made to ATR at commercial level, as well as preparing the grounds for the future of ATR as a leader in the regional aviation. I am honoured to join the passionate and professional team of ATR and bring in my experience to continue to ensure ATR’s leadership in the market and position it for the future,” Bortoli said.
