RUAG signs with Aurigny Air Services for one Dornier 228 NG

RUAG Aviation signed an agreement with Guernsey’s flag carrier airline Aurigny Air Services for the sale of a Dornier 228 NG, scheduled for delivery by the end of 2015. The bulk of Aurigny’s fleet comprises Embraer E-195, ATR-72-200/500 and 15-seater Brittan Norman Trilanders, which, after 40 years in operation, are reaching the end of their service life. The customer decided last year to replace the ageing aircraft with three Dornier 228, two of which will be New Generation models and one Dornier 228 classic.
