Canberra – The state-owned aircraft manufacturing company IPTN will join the Australian International Air Show and Aerospace Expo in Avalon Airport, Geelong, Victoria, on February 18 to 23.

Soleh Affandi, head of IPTN public relations office, told ANTARA here Sunday that the Indonesian aircraft manufacturing company will exhibit its N-250 Krincingwesi and CN235-330 Phoenix products.

"The exhibition of the new N-250 type of aircraft will be the first abroad," he said, adding that the CN-235-330 – the military version of CN-235 commuter aircraft – will be used by the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) to replace its DHC-4 Caribou.

He noted that RAAF has ordered from IPTN at least 15 units of the CN-235-330.

"Australia is a potential market for IPTN products," said Affandi.

During the expo, IPTN will also show its CN-235-220 and introduce the N-2130 program which will primarily manufacture passenger jet aircrafts.

IPTN's participation in the Australian Air Show will be its second after 1995.
