First, the aircraft is derived from the Dornier 328Jet built for the rugged regional airline environment where 10 to 12 legs a day and 3,000-flying hours a year are common.
It is hard to dispute that what AvCraft offers to the business/corporate aircraft market is exactly what potential operators are looking for… exceptional value, comfort and reliability.

By September 2003 AvCraft had planned to restart the 328JET line in Germany by year’s end, but its current order backlog numbers only three aircraft, all for the corporate-configured Envoy 3 version.
AvCraft is thus left with seven completed but unsold aircraft, and this may preclude a timely restart.
