Dornier Seawings (Stand 225) has signed an agreement with Gulf Enterprises that will bring the Part 23 FAA-certified Seastar amphibious twin-engine aircraft to the Middle East market. The two companies will partner on sales and marketing, operations and maintenance, and support for Middle East customers.

The $7.21 million (2017 $) Seastar is undergoing upgrades in preparation for EASA approval in 2023 before service entry in 2024. Major changes include Honeywell Epic 2.0 avionics with four large displays, new flight control actuation system, and revised landing gear design. Two 650-shp Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6-135A engines are fitted in fore-and-aft inline thrust configuration on the top of the fuselage.
