DI to resume production

BANDUNG, West Java: State-own aircraft company PT Dirgantara
Indonesia (DI) has received three certificates from the
Directorate General of Air Transportation, allowing the factory
to resume its aircraft production, an official said on Friday.

"It means that our government supports PT Dirgantara to keep
producing aircraft," DI chief director Jusman SD said here after
receiving the certificates from Director General of Air
Transportation Sunaryo.

The certificates were given for the production of, among
others, CN-235, NBO-105 helicopter, Nbell-412 aircraft and Super
Puma NAS-332 helicopter.

The cash-strapped company suspended production in mid-1997 at
the beginning of the economic crisis. (25)
