AvCraft Aviation is a manufacturing, completion and product support company for the 328 turboprop and 328JET. This US aviation company purchased production of the Dornier 328JET from the receivers of Fairchild Dornier GmbH in December 2002 following the European company's demise. The final transfers of the type and production certificates were completed in the third quarter of 2003.The company intends to restart 328Jet production in Germany during 2004 and is bringing the production of its wing - formerly outsourced - in-house.
By August, 2004, Avcraft had successfully established itself in the regional airline market and was entering the corporate aircraft market, placing previously unsold Dornier product with a wide range of customers. It exhibited at the Farnborough Air Show 2004 and joined major industry associations - its CEO Ben Bartel clearly intending the company to become a permanent feature of the regional aircraft manufacturing sector.
Future production of other Dornier designs remained in doubt during the summer of 2004.
