In particular, the government of Mauritius stated that the Dornier, which was constructed by Hindustan Aviation Limited (HAL) and financed through an Indian loan, is expected to \u2018play a critical role in securing our maritime zone\u2019.<\/p>\n

The Dornier will be primarily used by the National Coast Guard to enhance its maritime surveillance capabilities, in particular over Mauritius\u2019s outer islands, but can also be used to conduct search and rescue (SAR) and air ambulance<\/a> services.<\/p>\n

The Dornier is powered by twin TPE 331-10 engines equipped with five-blade propellers, and is fitted with glass cockpit, sensors and advanced avionics which enable it to be deployed in all weather conditions. The cabin is also fitted for potential use as a neonatal intensive care unit. Two other Dornier aircraft are already employed by the MPF.<\/p>\n
