In welcome news for the Indian aviation industry, the Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)-built Dornier 228 aircraft may soon be flying commercial regional flights in Europe.
The 19-seater aircraft had received its type certification (TC) from the DGCA earlier in 2017, and has now received the EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)‘s approval for the TC. DGCA confirmed the development through a tweet.
The Dornier 228 has been envisioned to provide for regional air connectivity under the UDAN scheme which seeks to connect smaller towns and remote parts of the country by air. The plane is capable of night flying and has a range of 700 km.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
