Dornier 228 Aircraft

The defence ministry on Friday sealed a deal with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to procure six Dornier aircraft at a cost of Rs 667 crore for the Indian Air Force.

A five member team of Indian Navy created history by completing the first all-women independent maritime reconnaissance and surveillance mission in the North Arabian Sea onboard a state-of-the-art Dornier 228 aircraft on Wednesday.

Sub Lieutenant Shivangi takes a walk about a white Dornier 228 twin-turboprop aircraft of the India Navy during a mandatory pre-flight check. Satisfied with her observation, she climbs into the cockpit of the aircraft used by the Navy for general utility and surveillance operations before she fires up the instrument.

Nine ships spent the day searching off the Goa coast for a naval aircraft that crashed last night, leaving two pilots missing.

The Tata Group said on Monday it aims to bring out a fully built aircraft for Ruag Aviation - makers of Dornier 228 new generation aircraft, parts of which are to be made in India by TASL.

In a sign of the growing confidence in India's aircraft manufacturing capabilities, Swiss-German RUAG Aviation is looking to purchase around 40 of the modernized version of the Dornier 228 multi-utility planes from state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

A foreign chartered aircraft flying from Muscat was detained overnight by authorities in Jaipur but was released today after authorities questioned the pilot. It had deviated from its flight path and flew over the high-security Indian Air Force (IAF) combat base in Jodhpur.
