KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 (Bernama) — As an aviation conversant organisation, DELTA AEROSPACE SDN BHD (Delta) has identified a “true flying boat” as a solution. Chief Executive Officer, Mr Michael Roche has identified an appropriate aircraft which led to a full analysis of available seaplane manufacturers in operation, narrowing down to aircraft that could be operated effectively in an international environment and not be limited to only operating in perfect weather and smooth water. The result of this detailed search was the LA-8 aircraft, an 8-seater amphibious aircraft, and the technology transfer program is now under finalisation.
On 8 September 2021, Delta has signed a MoU with Aeronautique Design and Service Bureau S.A. (ADSB, incorporated in Switzerland) on a full technology and manufacturing transfer of LA-8 to Delta in Malaysia. ADSB is the holder of TL0070 Type Certificate for the LA-8 aircraft and is the world distributor and Original Equipment Manufacturer of LA-8 aircraft.
