The total deal is worth EUR 4 million in list prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u2192 <a href=\"https:\/en\/2023\/03\/emirates-unveils-its-new-livery.html\">Emirates unveils its new livery<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur new fleet from Diamond Aircraft is part of our larger strategic intent for our cadet programme. It helps us design a bridging MEP programme for cadets to gain more flying experience while progressing from a single engine to a light jet aircraft&#8221;, Capt Abdulla Al Hammadi, Vice President Emirates Flight Training Academy, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 4-seat DA42-VI is the newest version of Diamond\u2019s technology leading light piston twin-engine aircraft. It\u2019s the first certified general aviation piston aircraft to combine modern technology airframe, avionics, and power plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With its unique combination of performance and utility, the jet fuel powered DA42-VI is designed to make transitioning from single to twin engine much easier. The aircraft generates fuel savings of up to 50% compared to conventional AVGAS powered twins, and its panoramic canopy provides excellent visibility during all flight manoeuvres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aircraft delivery is expected to commence soon, with all three slated to be received by EFTA in the first half of 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
