Amphibious aircrafts to be built in NT
The Territory will become Australia’s first manufacturer and exporter of the Albatross G-111T amphibi­ous aircraft. 
Chief Minister Natasha Fyles signed a partnership between Amphib­ian Aerospace Industries and ShinMaywa in Japan.
ShinMaywa manufactures the US-2 amphibious aircraft in Japan and the two companies will work together to develop a manufacturing hub in Darwin.
The NT government is investing  $10m into ­Amphibian Aircraft Holdings (AAH) to build upgraded ­versions of the Albatross in Darwin.
The Albatross has not been commercially manufactured since the 1960s - it can take off and touch down in land, snow, ice and water.
Ms Fyles said the project’s progression was a boon for the Territory and “this investment is building a brand new industry for the nation in Darwin”.
The G-111T will bring a much-needed transport capability to many countries to help in moving people, medical supplies, goods and ser­vices to remote and isolated communities.

An ­annual revenue of $100m has been forecasted by the end of the decade, once the manufacturing hub is established.
