Montréal, Canada, 12 November 2025 – As regional aviation faces mounting challenges across Canada, Deutsche Aircraft is stepping forward with a bold vision for sustainable connectivity. At the upcoming Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC) Conference & Tradeshow, taking place from 18–20 November, the OEM will present its next-generation turboprop, the D328eco, designed to serve remote communities, support economic growth and meet Canada’s environmental goals.

Deutsche Aircraft’s delegation includes:

• Nils Heuer, Sales Director

• Kishore Karthikeyan, Sales Strategy Manager

• Regina Pouzolz, Director of Sustainable Flight

Regina Pouzolz will participate in the panel discussion on Sustainable Flight as part of the Joint Environment and Flight Ops Committee, sharing insights into how the D328eco is engineered for lower emissions and climate impact, fuel efficiency and operational versatility.

Key Capabilities of the D328eco include:

• Short take-off and landing capability for gravel and unpaved runways

• Multi-mission flexibility allowing passenger, cargo and medevac configurations

• Break-even load factor of just 55%, enabling profitability on thin routes

• Canadian-built engines by Pratt & Whitney Canada

“The D328eco is more than an aircraft—it’s a lifeline for underserved regions,” says Nils Heuer, Director of Sales at Deutsche Aircraft. “It’s built to connect communities where other aircraft simply cannot operate.”

“The D328eco is designed with sustainability at its core — not as an afterthought. From its compatibility with 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel to its efficient operations on short and unpaved runways, it’s a solution tailored for the environmental and connectivity needs of regions like Canada,” said Regina Pouzolz, Director of Sustainable Flight at Deutsche Aircraft.
