Its efficiency, state-of-the-art avionics and outstanding flight characteristics have yet again resulted in a twin-engine DA42 Twin Star being chosen as the best training aircraft, this time for future airline pilots at Turkish Airlines. The aircraft was delivered to Turkish Airlines in Wiener Neustadt on 5 June 2007 and flown to Istanbul the next day. As a new fleet customer, Turkish Airlines is in illustrious company: other schools of aviation that are satisfied with Diamond aircraft include famous names such as Embry Riddle United Air Force Academy Training in the USA, Flight Training Adelaide in Australia, CTC Aviation Group in New Zealand, Atlantic Flight Training in the United Kingdom, PanAm International Aviation Academy in China, and many more.
