The reason for the high ATR time requirements, is due to the fact that the ATR's are predominantly used exclusively for the Occidental Group. As this is the case they have their own requirements as to the experience of the crew flying their workforce around the desert. The ATR does do one domestic flight, up to the northern part of Mussandam, to a place called Khasab, i believe 3 or 4 times a week, the remainder of the flights are into the desert strips for Occidental.
