The perfect solution for maritime patrol and light transport operations.
The Do228 is the platform of choice for special mission operations taking place between low level and 10,000 ft. Military and government law enforcement organizations operate the Do228 worldwide for maritime patrol (pollution control, search and rescue, border control, fishery patrol), research flights, surveillance and reconnaissance, and light transport operations (cargo, paratrooper, passenger, medevac).
The success of our aircraft is proven by over four million hours flown to date. Based on continuous improvements and innovations, the Do228 offers a high level of safety, even in its standard version, and is one of the most reliable aircraft in the world with its perfect mix of a mature design and innovative technologies.
Due to its advanced aerodynamics, the Do228 is able to match or exceed the STOL performance of competitors on the same payload, while cruising up to 50 kts faster.
