The terms of the agreement will see the companies become long-term, risk-sharing partners with engineering and manufacturing being led by PT DI, supported by Airbus Military. Airbus Military will also be responsible for certification.
The NC212i aircraft will be delivered from Bandung, in Indonesia and will be promoted and supported by PT DI and Airbus Military teams worldwide.
