Vancouver, 29 October 2024 – German aircraft manufacturer Deutsche Aircraft will attend the 2024 Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC) Conference, held in Vancouver from 5–7 November. This annual event brings together aviation professionals to discuss the future of air travel, with a focus on solutions for regional connectivity across Canada.

During the conference, Deutsche Aircraft will promote the 40-seater D328eco turboprop. The outstanding operational capabilities and economics of this next-generation aircraft make it ideal for connecting smaller airports to larger cities, enabling it to feed the main hubs of Air Canada and WestJet from other regional centres. In addition, its efficiency and range allows it to reliably serve the remote regions of British Columbia, Quebec and the Northwest Territories.

With its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, a 30,000ft ceiling, and the ability to operate on unpaved runways, the D328eco is suited to handle extreme weather conditions and challenging terrain. Its versatile design allows for quick conversions between passenger, cargo, medical evacuation, and firefighting configurations, making it a valuable asset for operators across Canada.

Furthermore, the D328eco also aligns with Canada’s ambitious sustainability goals. significantly reducing the carbon footprint of regional air travel through fuel-efficient engines that are compatible with Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF).

The Deutsche Aircraft team invites attendees to visit booth #310 during the ATAC Conference. Sales Director, Nils Heuer, will be available for interviews during the event to discuss how the D328eco can help advance connectivity and boost economic development in Canada.
