Dominican Republic Strengthens Aerospace Industry with Locally Assembled Military Aircraft

According to Listín Diario, the Dominican Republic has placed into operation the first series of ten TP-75 Dulus military aircraft assembled locally in partnership with the Italian company Fly Legend.

The aircraft, designed for patrol and training missions, operate from San Isidro Air Base under the responsibility of the Fuerza Aérea de la República Dominicana (FARD).

The commissioning marks a strategic milestone in the development of the country’s national aerospace industry. Dominican authorities describe the initiative as a significant step toward strengthening military capabilities while fostering the creation of a specialized local industrial sector.

The program also paves the way for future production initiatives and potential international partnerships, with the objective of positioning the country as a regional player in the aerospace sector.
