Indonesia's aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) will deliver four CN-235 surveillance aircraft ordered by South Korea worth 100 million U.S. dollars in 2010, a company executive said.
"We will start delivering the four surveillance aircraft ordered by South Korea in 2010," the company's vice president for marketing and integrated aircraft sales Arie Wibowo was quoted by Antara news agency as saying Monday.
Arie said South Korea was one of the countries that had ordered CN-235s at the price of $100 million.
PT DI produces CN-235 aircraft in a variety of versions and the product was already being operated in other countries beside Indonesia and South Korea.
"South Korea is only one of the countries (operating the aircraft). Basically we have no competitors in the Asia Pacific," he said.
Countries already using CN-235s include Malaysia, Brunei Darussalam, Thailand, the Philippines, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan and Burkina Faso.
The firm also produces Super Puma NAS-332 helicopters under a license from France's Eurocopt (Aerospatiale).
