 | | It was built by the Dornier Company in 1938 as a Do-24 model, the most successful flying boat in Germany, to be used by the Dutch government in their colonies, particularly Indonesia. |
 | | Iren Dornier, grandson of the founder of the original company, acquired the plane in 1998 and brought it out to the Philippines in 2003 where it became a part of the South East Asian Airlines, (SEAIR), a company formed about 10 years ago and co-owned by Iren Dornier and Nikos Gitsis. |
 | | Iren Dornier has been flying the Do-24ATT on a year-long world tour to promote Philippine tourism and UNICEF, copying to some extent the world tour route his grandfather, Claude Dornier, took in 1931 in the 12 engine Dornier Do-X, the largest and heaviest plane in the world at the time. |
