That makes it a good proposition. Pakistan should set up local assembly for such multi role aircrafts at home for future growth in civilian and military applications.

My bad. Yes, the MA-700 would be an interesting option, definitely looks comparable to the Saab 2000 and ATR-72. That said, it's still a few years out of flying and being inducted,

It just prove the aircraft standard has reach world benchmark. Its not easy to get US FAA approval. Needs to goes thru lots of stringent test to meet the mark. There goes to say, it will not be a cheap plane. Cheaper than western counterpart but not that affordable for third world countries.
