PTDI Completes Delivery of Sixth NC212i Aircraft to Indonesian Air Force
The delivery marks a step closer to fulfilling the Indonesian Ministry of Defense's order of nine NC212i units, enhancing troop transport capabilities.
PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) announced on Monday the delivery of the sixth NC212i aircraft to the Indonesian Air Force.
This aircraft, designated AX-2133, is part of a total order of nine units made by the Indonesian Ministry of Defense.
The aircraft will be operated by Air Squadron 4 and features a Troop Transport configuration.
This delivery follows the earlier transfer of five NC212i aircraft, which were delivered in stages: two units in 2023, one in 2022, and two in 2021. The seventh aircraft is scheduled for delivery in February 2025.
Notably, the latest NC212i is equipped with a new MTV-27 propeller from MT Propeller, Germany, which has received EASA certification. The new propeller reduces noise and improves performance during single-engine operations.
The NC212i has a multi-functional design, low operational costs, and ability to operate from short runways.
