The Dornier Do 328 is a twin-engine, high-wing commuter airliner designed and manufactured by Dornier in Germany. First introduced in 1991, it represents a modern approach to regional air transport, seating up to 33 passengers in a pressurized cabin. The aircraft was developed to fill the gap between smaller turboprops and regional jets, offering excellent fuel efficiency, reliability, and operating economics. The Do 328 features advanced avionics, a spacious fuselage, and impressive short-field performance capabilities. It has been widely adopted by regional airlines, air taxi operators, and cargo services across Europe, Asia, and North America. Notable operators include regional carriers in Germany, Scandinavia, and various charter companies. The aircraft's robust design, proven reliability record, and relatively low operating costs have made it a popular choice in the commuter aviation market. In 2002, production transitioned to Fairchild Aircraft in the United States, which developed the stretched Do 328JET variant with jet engines.
