RUAG Pitches Reinvigorated Dornier At The U.S.

Don’t call it a 228NG anymore, says manufacturer. The future has now become the present. “There comes a time,” says Martin Büsser, senior VP of sales and marketing at RUAG Aviation (Chalet A21), “when the new generation becomes the present generation.” Thus, the Dornier 228NG is dead; long live the Dornier 228. RUAG has already completed and sold the start-up batch of eight “ex-228NGs” from its relaunched production of the modernized Dornier turboprop-twins and is expecting to fly the first of the follow-ons before the end of this year.
