Appearing at the Singapore Airshow for the first time this year is the Aircraft Industries L-410NG, a comprehensively updated version of the Let L-410 Turbolet 19-seat regional airliner/utility transport from the Czech Republic. The original first flew in 1969, and more than 1,000 were built for civil and military use throughout the Soviet-influenced sphere, and also in the international arena.

In 2010 Aircraft Industries, the Russian-owned successor to the Let Kunovice company, launched a major modernization effort, which crystallized as the L-410NG. The first example flew on July 29, 2015, and production got underway in 2018. Initial deliveries went to Russia, Kazakhstan, and Poland. In 2022, the Czech Omnipol Group bought the company.
