Pacific Aerospace has received type certification for its P-750 XSTOL, Mark III turboprop single-engine aircraft from the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand.
This adds to a bevy of other approvals in the Asia-Pacific region, including China and Indonesia, and brings the worldwide total to 18 P-750 XSTOL certifications, covering 59 countries.
The Thai certification covers both Instrument Flight Rules and Visual Flight Rules.
Pacific Aerospace CEO, Damian Camp, says Thai certification will further strengthen the company’s position in Southeast Asia, with 25 P-750s already operating throughout Indonesia and PNG and 45 CT-4’s operating in Thailand.
“We have already received our first order from Thailand and a brand new P-750 will be delivered to the new owner in November this year. Our experience tells us that once one aircraft is in a market, other orders will follow”
Camp says the flexibility of the P-750 XTOL makes it uniquely suited to the often highly variable and challenging terrain found across the Asia-Pacific region.
“The P-750 XSTOL is an incredibly versatile utility aircraft. Its ability to be used in 10 different mission configurations is a significant selling-point, and one that we know our Asia-Pacific customers are very interested in,” he explains.
