One of the more little known jet airliners around is the Dornier 328JET. These were manufactured in Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany by Dornier, a business with a long history in aviation.
Today there are just a few airlines that still use this aircraft. One is in Europe and two others are in the United States, so it’s not particularly easy to get a flight on one.
Dornier 328Jet in the United States
Denver Air Connection, a Key Lime Air company, operate a number of these out of Colorado. Scheduled charter services fly from Denver to a few places in Colorado and surrounding states.
British Airways Dornier 328JET Services
In Europe, Sun-Air of Scandinavia operate the Dornier 328JET as a British Airways franchisee. Based in Denmark, flights operate to the UK, Germany, France, Sweden and Norway.
Overall Thoughts
The Dornier 328JET seats just 30 passengers, with seats arranged two by one. People who frequent small regional jets will know that this configuration is not too unusual.
Sun-Air operate a premium on board service on their flights, catering to business passengers. They even use city airports such as Stockholm Bromma and London City, which appeals to their target market.

I flew it a few times back when MidWest had some. It was utterly unmemorable other than having good views due the high wings and relatively low cruise altitudes. It was probably noisier too, but I always wear my noise canceling headphones so I don’t recall if it was horribly so.
Nice you had a chance to fly on one. I wouldn’t have expected it to be markedly different to anything else, so nice to hear your experience there. Thanks for the comment!
I flew round trip Cincinnati LUK to Cleveland BKL a couple of years ago on a Dornier operated by Ultimate Air Charters. Very nice flights and great service.
That’s great, I hope to one day try this aircraft myself. Thanks for the comment!
