I was actually surprised to see that they still make ATR72 variants. I thought I remembered that after the 1994 crash there was a finding that at least that model had de-icing and wing design issues and shortly thereafter most of the airlines quickly phased them out. Looks like that outside of the US the company and new versions of the plane are alive and well.
