RAS builds to the Pakistani passenger aircraft at sea patrol aircraft. The end of 2017 the rapidly growing company supplies based on Gladbacher airport the first machine, a year later the second.

Mönchengladbach. Rheinland Air Service upgraded to Gladbach for the Pakistani military passenger aircraft to equipment for maritime patrol. For the large order 25 employees are hired. This commitment to MGL has a signal effect.

The machines that Pakistan wants to ensure the future that not illicitly submarines approaching the country made in MG. Or more precisely, converted in MG. Because Rheinland Air Service (RAS) is built around the Pakistani passenger aircraft at sea patrol aircraft. The end of 2017 the rapidly growing company supplies based on Gladbacher airport from the first machine, a year later the second. Further orders to follow, from Pakistan or other countries. RAS CEO Johannes Graf von Schaesberg says: "With this order, our company developed again on This is for us a new business model.."

And an exciting. Because the planes are indeed equipped especially with the latest satellite technology to track submarines. but the should be made in case of emergency in the barriers.Both aircraft have a torpedo discharge station.For this very special technical challenges Gladbacher cooperate with a company from Braunschweig
.

Thanks to this contract growing RAS, which has only in 2014 built a second large hall on Airport Road, on. Only about 25 new highly qualified staff provides Graf von Schaesberg for the order from Pakistan. He also wants to build another, third hall of 1,500 square meters size. "That would help us this order with the necessary safety measures in isolation from the rest of our business to handle," said the CEO. For even the flourishing. RAS maintains the equipment of regional and business airplanes, sold, among other Honda jets and no longer utilized airworthy machines. The customers are not only in Europe but also in many parts of Asia, America and Africa. While RAS is still waiting for the green light from Dusseldorf to build the third hall, there are plenty of consent from Gladbach. More skilled jobs suitable for the claim of the city to grow. And the airport has in addition to the 2.4 million euro loss a year just another side of the coin: He is developing dynamically. This is excluding RAS also at the flight school RWL forms pilots for passenger aircraft. "This is not suspended Destination Quite the contrary. This is true music in it," says from Schaesberg.]

The see also the decision that way. It is the interest of the city to develop the airport so that it is fit for the future, says Mayor Hans Wilhelm Reiners. The SPD faction leader Felix Henry speaks in view of the development, for example by RAS and event hangar of a "very interesting mix at the site with a lot of potential". And the CDU Group Chairman Hans Peter Schlegelmilch finds that "Gladbach NRW exactly need such success stories like this". In this respect the latest coup of RAS signaling effect has perhaps the development of the airport.

At the Graf thinks of Schaesberg anyway. he can build as high that there such as 747 could be maintained even larger aircraft, the second hall."Precaution", he says. Machines of this size could land at the airport at the Niersbrücke until the runway one day but it should still be removed.

RIP Translation.

But good one.Though I doubt this variant is exactly an ASW platform.It is more like Maritime Patrol Aircraft like Dornier,right?

The ATR 72 ASW is operated by Italian Navy.
 
we should try to get surplus P 3C from US and other friendly nations to boost ASW capabilities
 
The version is called MG-made in germany, two pf our ATRs will get a upgrade to undertake sea patrol and anti submarine warfare.


I don't think so.

MG stands for the city in Germany called " Mönchengladbach ". It is a city in North-Rhine, Westphalia, Germany.

This city was formerly known as " Munchen Gladbach " and hence the abbreviation MG.

ATR 72 is a French-Italian Passenger Aircraft Production from company named ATR. Their latest version is ATR-72-600.

RAS ( stands for Rheinland Air Service ) is a German company located in Mönchengladbach ( MG ) Airport which is converting the Passenger Aircraft ATR-72 for ASW / Maritime Patrol role.

My question was if the Aircraft being converted was the latest ATR-72-600 or ATR-72-500 ?

2 of the existing ATRs will be upgraded.

Thanks, that answers my question.

I think those are ATR-72-500, if I am not mistaken.

Could you point out the difference btw too? never realised the difference before

Simply put;
  • MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) are for reconnaissances and patrol, not an offensive platform against enemy assets.
  • ASW (Anti-Submarine Warefare) aircraft are fitted with torpedo and AShM to attack and destroy enemy ships and submarines
One is an offensive/attack platform and other is a defensive mobile outpost to guard and keep an eye on your area.

Thank you very much. so ASW can also act as Maritime for reconnaissance ?
