Dornier 328
The original design was used for the development of the DO 328-100 turboprop aircraft, driven by two propeller engines, which from 1993 outsold the original over 100 times. Due to the old-fashioned image of propellor-driven aircraft, the 328JET (DO 328-300) was developed in the late 1990s, which replaced the propellors with two jet engines, and sold 83 models from 1999 to 2002, fulfilling rising demand for the jet-engined variant. Both designs incorporated the same cabin which held a maximum of 33 passengers.
The declining commercial success of the 328 range meant Fairchild Dornier was unable to finance the development of further models. The Dorner 328 was therefore the last commercial aircraft to be produced by the Dornier business, which became insolvent in 2002. Following Dornier's insolvency, in March 2003, Avcraft Aviation of Virginia acquired the rights to the 328 program, including the 32-seat 328JET and 328 turboprop, along with 18 almost completed but unsold 328JETs in various factories. After the successful sale of these airplanes Avcraft negotiated arrangements with suppliers to resume production. The first newly built 328JET was delivered in 2004.
Fairchild Dornier GmbH continued to develop a 44-seater version of the 328Jet, named the 428Jet. Avcraft also took on the production of these aircraft, due to low profit expectations for its other projects, until it filed for bankruptcy itself in 2005.

ScotAirways is a UK airline based in Dundee, Scotland. It operates regional services within the United Kingdom. It also operates ad hoc corporate charters for business and sporting organisations.
Suckling Airways (Cambridge) Ltd trading as Scotairways holds a United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority Type A Operating Licence, it is permitted to carry passengers, cargo and mail on aircraft with 20 or more seats.
History
The airline was established in November 1984 and started operations in 1986. It was founded as Suckling Aviation by Roy and Merlyn Suckling, originally operating charter and air taxi services from a grass runway in Ipswich. Scheduled services began on 26 April 1986 from Ipswich Airport to Manchester and Amsterdam using a single 18-seat Dornier Do.228-200. The service was distinguished by the friendly 'family' atmosphere engendered by both flight and ground staff.
In the winter of 1987, higher than average rainfall began to cause problems at Ipswich Airport, with the grass runway reportedly being damaged by the Suckling Dornier. The damage was particularly acute at the ends of the runway where the aircraft would make its turn. Region Air, the airport operating company, complained vociferously that the Dornier was churning up the runway, and in February 1988, Suckling was forced to temporarily relocate to RAF Wattisham, before finding a more permanent home at Cambridge. Ipswich Airport has subsequently closed.
Modest expansion followed the airline's move to Cambridge, and the airline upgraded to the larger Fairchild Dornier 328. Services to Edinburgh began, as well as a parallel service from Norwich to the city. By 1999 the airline was carrying 110,000 passengers on its fleet of Dorniers and had started services from London City Airport to Dundee and Glasgow.
It was during that year that investment was secured from Brian Souter, founder and chairman of the Perth-based transport group Stagecoach and his sister Ann Gloag. Souter and Gloag purchased a 90% stake in the airline for £5m and announced its rebranding as ScotAirways, despite the fact its headquarters would remain in Cambridge. The Suckling family would remain in charge of the day to day management of the airline, while Souter became chairman. The aircraft were repainted with a red tartan tailfin, still using the previous sa logo. A rather ambitious expansion programme began, establishing a hub at London City with services to Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness and Paris, and also from Inverness and Southampton to Amsterdam.
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States, the airline found itself in the midst of the crisis surrounding the aviation industry. Cutbacks were required for ScotAirways’ survival, and the services from Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Paris, Norwich and Cambridge were axed, some only a matter of months since their launch. With the abandonment of Cambridge Airport, Dundee effectively became the base for the carrier’s operations and maintenance.
During 2004, the airline marked its recovery by recording its first profit in several years. Frequencies on the remaining routes have been increased, with Southampton – Amsterdam and Dundee – London City operating 4 times daily and Edinburgh – London City 10 times daily. The airline carried over 200,000 passengers in 2004, achieving a far higher figure on just three routes than the previous larger network. In the face of heavy competition from British Airways on the Edinburgh to London City route, ScotAirways introduced its first jet aircraft, an 80-seat British Aerospace 146, onto the route on 9 May 2005. Code share arrangements are also in place with Flybe on the Edinburgh service and KLM Cityhopper on the Amsterdam route.
On 18 September 2006 it was announced that Ann Gloag and Brian Souter have sold their combined stakes in the airline to Roy and Merlyn Suckling.
Commencing from Monday, 26th March, Scot Airways will be a partner airline to the brand new 'CityJet for Air France' concept taking to the skies from London City Airport. ScotAirways will operate its existing services to Edinburgh and Dundee as codeshare services with Air France, and in addition will launch a new service from George Best Belfast City Airport to London City Airport on behalf of CityJet for Air France. From the 10th of August ScotAirways ceased operations on the Southampton - Amsterdam route , however route expansion to Strasbourg, from London City is planned. This service will also be operated on behalf of CityJet.
Roy Suckling passed away in late January 2008. His contribution to the airline industry was recognised by many pilots who had started their careers with his airline and had then moved onto operate larger aircraft at internationally known carriers like British Airways.
