About the DO28 A-1
The Dornier DO28 A-1 is a twin-engine, fixed-wing light utility aircraft featuring a type-certificated category and seating for up to eight occupants. It suits operators looking for robust utility capabilities through a twin-engine layout.
Background development of the manufacturer traces back to Claude Dornier's metal works established in Germany, known for historical large flying boats and aircraft designs. The type later saw rare surviving airframes restored to active flight status by dedicated owners, alongside military service roles operated by air arms such as the Spanish and Turkish forces across various series iterations.
