Utility Air announces first allocation of DA50 RG positions for Australia and New Zealand

  Utility Air Pty Ltd, exclusive Distributor for Diamond Aircraft in the region, has announced that it has secured the first DA50 RG slots to be sold outside of North America and Europe. These aircraft will be made immediately available to customers in Australia and New Zealand with Deliveries beginning in 2024. Utility Air’s Managing Director, Stephen Pembro was effusive about the new product. “The Diamond DA50 RG is the aircraft we’ve been waiting for. It will allow us to reach the owners of high-performance piston singles who have been unavailable to us before.” Pembro continued “We are delighted to be able to offer this 300HP retractable gear aircraft. It will do everything that a customer could desire, at a fraction of the operating cost of our competitors.” Utility Air already has a significant amount of interest in the aircraft, which is a 21st-century interpretation of the classic owner-flown large piston single. John Oppenheim, Director of Utility Air, added  “Having experienced the DA50 RG in both Austria and Canada recently, I am certain the class-leading cabin and simple single lever power controls will appeal in our region. The aircraft is attractive, fast and environmentally friendly. Consuming only 9 gal/h of Jet A1 makes similar Avgas-powered aircraft seem like dinosaurs.” Utility Air encourages any customers interested in securing 2024 positions on these aircraft to contact the company as soon as possible.   For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Kay Rolland at [email protected]
