Air-Force CN235 maritime Patrol Aircraft for Senegal Air Force

[Test7]

Recently noted at Bandung/Husein Sastranegara Internal Airport (Indonesia) is this first CN235-220MPA Maritime Patrol Aircraft for the Armée de l'Air du Senegal (Senegalese Air Force).

The aircraft, still with Indonesian test registration AX-2348 and construction number N069, is expected to take up the Senegalese serial 6W-TTD.

It seems that Senegal has ordered two MPAs with PT Dirgantara Indonesia (Indonesian Aerospace). Photos from an aircraft overview planning board of the AdlA du Senegal showed serials 6W-TTD and 6W-TTE.

Currently, Senegal has two transport versions of the CN235 in its inventory. Both tarnsporters, CN235-220AT 6W-TTB (c/n N015) and CN235-220M 6W-TTC (c/n N065) are both operated by the Escadre de Transport at Dakar/Yoff.

Indonesia has participated in the Turkish Aerospace Aksungur UAV development.
I expect to see more projects and cooperation between Turkey and Indonesia.

The negotiation for second CN 235 MPA for Senegal is scheduled to take place in January next year, so there will be chance to get second CN 235 MPA order from the same nation. Bangladesh is also currently undergoing tender for similar class plane with requirement for the OEM to have MRO facility in Asia region.

And also if we can once again win tender for another two LPD acquisition in Philippine, the status of defense export nation will likely be strengthen. As far as the local Philippine news is suggesting, it is PT PAL that currently is in the favorable position in the tender process.
