Diamond Aircraft celebrated the handover of the first DA40 aircraft to Sama Aviation, based in the UAE’s Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah. Sales Manager Christian Schmid handed over the four-seater, single-engine piston aircraft to Sama Aviation’s team at Diamond’s Austrian Headquarters on Monday.
Sama Aviation, an offshoot of the Jazirah Aviation Club, will use the aircraft to train ab-initio pilots as part of its newly established PPL program. The Jazirah Aviation Club school already offers complete training programs for Light Sport Aircraft in the UAE approved by the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA).
The air conditioned DA40 NG handed over to Sama Aviation features a 168hp Austro Engine AE300 turbocharged diesel engine and an ECU single lever control system for ease of operation. The aircraft runs on Jet A-1, making it cost-efficient and sustainable.
The purchase of the DA40 by Sama Aviation was made possible by Diamond Aircraft’s regional sales partner, Aviation Home Qatar. The aircraft is scheduled to be in operation at the school by end of the year.
