InterGlobe General Aviation announces Dornier Seastar CD2 begins production

The world’s most advanced seaplane, the Dornier Seastar CD 2 has now gone into production, announced InterGlobe General Aviation Pvt. Limited, the representative for Dornier Seaplane Company in SAARC (including Mauritius).
The new fully certified all composite twin engine seaplane provides the fastest cruise speeds, the most comfortable cabin and the greatest reliability of any other amphibious aircraft available, making it the most apt seaplane for the vast coastlines of Sri Lanka, India, Maldives and Mauritius.
The seaplane is being assembled at the new facility in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in the southern suburb of Montreal, Canada. On this development CEO and President of InterGlobe General Aviation Nigel Harwood said, “We are very excited about the launch of this new manufacturing facility; there is not only a great deal of interest in this product but also a strong requirement in the region which we can now go about fulfilling.”
Dornier chose Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu due to its proximity to Lake Champlain for demonstration and production of flight test activities and also the importance of Montreal as a transportation hub with skilled aerospace labor pool in the area.
