Passenger Transport

A high standard in passenger comfort is the primary consideration in the Do228 design. The standard cabin consists of 19 individual passenger seats with a 30-inch pitch, offering airline-standard passenger comfort in a single-seat configuration. Its rectangular cross-section is the ideal shape for utility applications and provides passengers with ample space at shoulder height, extra passenger headroom and cargo storage space. Passengers enter through a passenger door with built-in steps on the LH side of the rear fuselage. An 18 seats layout, with a toilet located aft of the cabin, is also available.

Cargo transport

Seats can be quickly removed to convert the cabin for cargo transportation. To ease loading, the normal passenger door can be opened sideways, which, together with the adjacent door, creates a massive opening for bulky or heavy cargo. Parcels and crates of all sorts can be distributed quickly and easily inside the cabin by means of the integrated roller system.
