In the US, an ATP is only required for Part 121 operations, of which there are essentially none. A commercial certificate is sufficient for anything else, unless the customer requires it. The customer can require an ATP certificate for the captain, or the entire crew, as part of the contract, as well as requiring almost anything else. But that's not a regulatory requirement, just an economic one.
