At Prime Group, we have always strived to address the issue of identifying & bringing into the country the best among globally available technologies that can help accelerate the overall economic growth of the nation, says Padmashri Surinder Mehta Founder Chairman and Managing Director, Prime Group of Companies.
Years back, having concluded that aerospace would play a vital role in the rapid economic acceleration, we set up the Aerospace Division under the flagship company of the Group –PCI Limited, with a clear mission to address this trend. In collaboration with Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria PCI brings into India the complete range of high-technology single engine, twin engine & Jet aircraft and advanced aerial surveillance and flight simulator solutions.
Through this vast range the Aerospace Division addresses the needs of corporate houses, Training schools, Point-to-point Air operators, Hobbyist & Adventure seekers in addition to piloted or unmanned flying solutions to address various surveillance & mapping needs. Due to their high fuel-efficiency, fully composite construction, high-end avionics, engines with unique options, user-friendliness and sleek looks. Diamond Aircraft have been tremendously well-accepted in the Indian market with two of India's premier training schools having contracted for these aircraft: The national premier flying school in India providing CPL with multi engine endorsement. Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Uran Akademi (IGRUA) of the Government of India, contracted for 14 aircraft and two simulator solutions to improve the flying training standards. The National Flying Training Institute (NFTI) at Gondia has already contracted for 22 Diamond aircraft and a simulator solution.
After this notable success, Diamond Aircraft together with PCI is now launching in India (at India Aviation 2010 at Hyderabad) its new and highly advanced DA42NG – which is the world’s most technologically advanced twin.
