PT IPTN to attend airshow

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned aerospace company PT Industri Pesawat
Terbang Nusantara (IPTN) will participate in the prestigious
biannual Air Show Down Under Australian International Air Show &
Expo at Avalon Airport Geelong, Victoria, from Feb. 18 to Feb.
23.

This participation is very important because Australia is a
potential market for IPTN products, especially its CN-235
multipurpose aircraft, the company said yesterday.

IPTN announced the Bandung-based company was developing a
special version of the aircraft, to be called the CN-235 Series
330/Phoenix, to meet some of Australia's aircraft needs. The
Royal Australian Air Force plans to replace a squadron of its
Caribou DHC4 with CN-235 Series 330/Phoenix.

The announcement said IPTN's CN-235 Series 220 will be a
flying attraction during the exhibition.

During the airshow State Minister for Research and Technology
B.J. Habibie, who is also IPTN president, will introduce the
company's new programs including the manufacturing of the N250
propelled aircraft and the N2130 jet.

This will be the second time IPTN has taken part in the
Australian air show after participating two years ago. (10)
