Do228NGs coming?
 

Any ideas who this could be? :confused:

From Flightglobal...

German firm RUAG Aerospace has secured a commitment for up to five Dornier 228 NG turboprops from an undisclosed Australian customer.
The Australian firm becomes RUAG's third customer for the re-vamped 19-seat turboprop, joining an undisclosed Asian company and Mexico's Air Cancun.
A RUAG spokeswoman gives few details about the deal, saying only that an undisclosed Australian customer has committed to the type and that it placed an order for one aircraft, plus four options, last month.
This takes RUAG to a total of eight aircraft commitments, plus five options to date. The Asian airline has a six-strong purchase agreement for the 228, while Air Cancun will take one firm and one optioned 228.
RUAG has revived the 228 programme with production at the Oberpfaffenhofen facility near Munich, while the aircraft's fuselage, wings and empennage are manufactured by Bangalore-based Hindustan Aeronautics.
Final assembly and outfitting will take place at the Munich base with the first items expected to be delivered to Germany during the first quarter of this year.

GAM?

typed to lengthen post....

Skytrans is my bet!!

RUAG needs to convince suppliers to tool up for just 50 odd shipsets as well, I wouldn't think that would be too easy either

Heard Central Airlines ;) ? ?

Airlines Of Tasmania perhaps?

Ha !

good luck...

i thought central airlines operated VulcanAirs exclusivly

could be upgrading:ok:

Virgin Blue. (In case the 19 Boeings order falls through!)

Hey, did anyone find out who had these planes on pre order ?

Already have one **** box that spends half it's life grounded, dont want any more! Don wouldn't want to spend his $$$ anyway....

Wouldn't be suprised if its Toll.

It's an unfortunate machine that one. Aot + New planes (brand new) :p Not in this lifetime...
