Wessling, 19 July 2024 – Deutsche Aircraft recently hosted an international gathering of elite police and military special operations forces from over 12 nations at Oberpfaffenhofen Airport in Wessling. The Paradays event featured parachute jumps from the in-service D328® aircraft, highlighting its versatility as a Special Mission Aircraft. Its EASA-approved In-Flight Operable Door (IFOD) allows for efficient aerial delivery applications, including humanitarian aid missions.

The D328® can be quickly reconfigured for various roles, such as personnel transport, logistics, casualty evacuation, search & rescue and parachute operations. This adaptability supports humanitarian and disaster relief efforts by facilitating the rapid deployment of highly trained first responders, as well as tactical and covert military operations. Building on this legacy, our next-generation D328eco™ is poised to elevate these multi-role capabilities even further.

Given the current global geopolitical landscape, the importance of swift operational response and international cooperation is paramount. Paradays offered a unique opportunity for participants to experience the D328® multi-mission aircraft first-hand in parachute operations, fostering international collaboration through the sharing of knowledge and experience about this versatile aircraft.

Dave Jackson, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, stated: "We take great pride in our participation in this prestigious event, as we demonstrate the advanced capabilities of the D328® in tactical parachute operations, humanitarian aid and multi-purpose missions."
