DORNIER 328

The Dornier 328 is a German built, new generation aircraft with 32 passenger seats. It is one of the fastest and most advanced jetprops in the world.

The latest turbo-propeller aircraft from Dornier, it has exceptional take-off and landing performance allowing it to operate safely from relatively short runways such as Caticlan. This exceptional performance is a result of the combination of a jet engine powering a relatively large propeller.

The propeller is more efficient than a straight jet and once airborne, the aircraft can reach a cruise speed of 350 miles per hour and a maximum altitude of 31,000 feet. This permits the plane to climb above most of the weather systems, thus allowing for a smooth flight.

All seats on the Dornier 328 give you business class space since the aircraft is designed with more interior volume per passenger than the 100+ seat Boeing 737.

The Dornier 328's Flight Management System (FMS), which is a computer based navigation system, allows accurate and simple navigation improving the crews capability to deviate around bad weather systems and take full advantage of any short-cuts or direct routes offered by Air Traffic Control.

Pilots have praised the combination of technology, power and performance of the Dornier 328 saying that it is a delight to fly. Moreover, many say that in the same size category, no other aircraft can be considered a serious contender to it.
