Ahead of the ILA Berlin 2026 air show, Deutsche Aircraft is preparing its most comprehensive showcase to date, highlighting the evolution of its future‑ready, multi‑role aviation portfolio designed for governmental and mission‑critical operations.
At the centre of the presentation will be the D328 Multi Role (MR) ‒ a civil-certified, commercial, off-the-shelf aircraft engineered to support a diverse range of public-sector missions.
Deutsche Aircraft will also showcase its expanding portfolio by introducing a new uncrewed aircraft capability at the event, which runs from 10 to 14 June. Designed to complement the D328MR, this integrated system will deliver a broader mission offering for civil and governmental operators.
In cooperation with EASP Air NL, the FRONTEX Border and Coast Guard D328 will be on static display, demonstrating the platform’s proven capabilities, reliability and flexible cabin configuration. It will be showcased alongside an autonomous refuelling pod, highlighting its support for flexible multi-role missions with full operational sovereignty. The aircraft is currently part of the active D328 fleet, backed by Deutsche Aircraft’s In-Service and Global Customer Support team.
As a civil aircraft manufacturer, Deutsche Aircraft continues to expand the proven Dornier 328 platform to meet the evolving requirements of European authorities and agencies. With a strong heritage in special‑mission operations, the D328MR is optimised for demanding environments, including surveillance, emergency response, humanitarian assistance, environmental protection and border control.
Nico Neumann, CEO of Deutsche Aircraft, says: “Europe needs sovereign, flexible and future‑proof aviation solutions for public‑sector operations. With the D328MR, complemented by uncrewed capabilities, we are offering a portfolio that allows authorities to select the right platforms for each mission – based on civilian certification, safety and long‑term operational reliability.”
