About

The Dornier 328-100 is the initial standard production variant of the Do 328 family. Entering service in 1993, it established the baseline specifications for the turboprop series. The 328-100 featured Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-119A turboprops with six-bladed Hartzell propellers, providing excellent performance and low noise levels. With seating for up to 30-33 passengers in a 2+1 configuration, it offered a comfortable cabin for regional routes. The 328-100 combined modern avionics, good speed performance, and operational flexibility, making it popular with regional carriers seeking to replace older turboprops.
