A Turkish corporation, TRJet is based in Ankara, Turkey, and will serve the Regional Aircraft Project as well as the commercial aviation sector. The newly launched Regional Aircraft Project utilizes the TRJ328™ aircraft, a modernized version of the Dornier 328 (D328), as a first step toward production of Turkey’s first domestically-built passenger aircraft, the TRJ628™ concept aircraft. TRJet will ultimately produce and sell the TRJ328, as well as other variants, and will play an essential role in producing Turkey’s first indigenous passenger aircraft.
TRJet will combine the legacy of two esteemed aviation companies, Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) and 328 Support Services GmbH (328), to create an aviation and aerospace company that merges modern German aircraft engineering and the latest industry modification standards. The Turkish government will capitalize on this technology, and on Dornier’s legacy of innovation dating back almost to the start of commercial aviation, to support the growth of Turkey’s existing civil aviation industry, as well as to open the country to the global aviation market. The 328 is currently certified in 85 countries around the world, and is in use in many countries, including the U.S., Switzerland, Germany, U.K. and Denmark.
