Turkish Chamber orders new 328s
Istanbul Chamber of Commerce has signed a letter of intent at the Farnborough Airshow to buy 10 TRJ328s, the updated, re-engined version of the former Dornier 328 regional jet that Turkey intends to use as the basis of a commercial aircraft industry. The Turkish govt said it intended to build updated versions of both the turboprop and jet versions of the 32-seat Dornier 328 as stepping stones towards the creation of a clean-sheet 60- to 70-seater known as the 628. This will also be built in turboprop and turbofan versions. The Chamber of Commerce intends to use its aircraft, which will be delivered in 2021/22, as ‘proof of concept’ aircraft to encourage existing or new airlines to buy into the 328 project, which envisages a network of routes between secondary and tertiary Turkish cities. <br/>
