In 2003, after the IPTN N-250 program halt, Indonesian Aerospace (IAe) planned to develop

54-539: A type certificate on 18 December 2020. The N-219 is twin-engine, 19-seater transport aircraft designed for multi-purpose missions in remote areas. It is intended to operate in and out of remote, semi-prepared airstrips; suitable to conditions in Indonesia 's archipelago. It was developed from clean sheet design with 100 % Indonesian engineers. It is claimed that it will have the largest cabin volume in its class (6.50 x 1.82 x 1.70m). A flexible door system to allow
