Indonesia Launching Low Cost Competitor to Twin Otter



Indonesia's state-owned PT Dirgantara (PTDI) is launching the N219, a 19-seater twin propeller passenger aircraft later this year. It is attractively priced and is set to make a splash in the small passenger aircraft market segment. It's main competitor will be the popular DHC-6 Twin Otter. PTDI has produced under license many types of aircraft including the NC-212i, CN-235-220 and Super Puma helicopters. However,the N219 will be the first locally developed aircraft. Being an archipelago, the local market should provide a strong base for this type of aircraft.
