AvCraft Aviation is restarting the former Fairchild Dornier 328JET production line during the first quarter of the year. The first completed 30-seat 328JET will roll off the production line by fourth quarter 2004. The company set a goal of an initial annual production rate of 18 aircraft.
Work will begin on five unfinished aircraft on the Oberpfaffenhofen assembly line. These aircraft are between 80 to 20 percent completed. All but two of the 18 white tail aircraft inherited when AvCraft purchased
the Fairchild Dornier 328 program in Germany, have been sold.

From the pilots I’ve talked to the 328Jet is worthless. It has an insane climb rate but cruises at only a fraction more than the prop version. It still has deicing boots, not heated wings like every other regional jet out there has.
