It seems Hindustan Aircraft Industries (HAI) will soon be building Do-228s in India under license from Dornier. Do-228 ratings are going to be the rage and some of our local flying schools are already cashing in!
My 2 cents advice.
HAL had been building Do-228s for a long time .. and has placed them with various military and private operators, including the now defunct Vayudoot, and operational Jagsons.
And HAL building Do-228s mean nothing, as Indian Bureaucracy keeps Indians on certifications regardless whether it is made in India or not ..
And if my sources are right, India will supply the parts for the New Generation Do-228, to recommence production in "GERMANY"
