Turboprop maker ATR has promoted Daniel Cuchet to senior vice president engineering and head of design organisation.
The appointment, which took effect ahead of ATR's February 6 announcement, will see Cuchet also join ATR’s executive committee. He will report to chief executive Nathalie Tarnaud Laude.
Cuchet was ATR's chief engineer, a position he took up in 2019 after previously working for Airbus for over a decade.
ATR said Cuchet's promotion will require him to play a "key role" in supporting it "in its continuous development to contribute towards sustainable regional mobility".
