Jakarta: State-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) has delivered a military transport aircraft CN235-220 ordered by the Nepalese Army.
Departed from the Husein Sastranegara Airbase in Bandung, West Java, on Wednesday, October 30, 2019, the plane is scheduled to arrive in Kathmandu on Saturday, November 2, 2019.
"Alhamdulillah (thank God), we can deliver the plane on time," PTDI Director Elfien Goentoro stated at PTDI's fixed wing hangar in Bandung.
Built in line with a US$30-million contract inked with the Nepalese Army in June 2017, the aircraft has six configuration modes -- transport, cargo, paratroop, medevac, maritime patrol, and also VIP -- applicable in accordance with the need.
