NOWOGARD - Valruzian aircraft giant Reglair plans to open its first assembly plant in continental Kalistan aiming to deliver up to 100 planes a year to different clients, with EnskalAire and PanSeleya portraited as the most possible clients, official media reported today. This might be seen as a strategic move of LOT Group which closely cooperates with Reglair and it has been rumored that LOT is planning to take a large share in one of the two major airlines in Kalistan - most possibly government-controlled Kalistan Airlines (EnskalAire). Reglair intends to open a final assembly line somewhere in continental Kalistan to finalize the production of its smaller models i3 and i5. When asked if the project is temporary, Reglair CEO Jadwiga Baranska explained that in the current shape, yes but the company does not exclude establishing a permanent production line of smaller models. The plant will be set up amid forecast that Kalistan-based airlines alone will need up to 400 new planes in the next 10 years at an estimated cost of VPO 40 billion.

As stated above, Reglair initially plans to establish final assembly centre in which planes will be fitted with the desired seat configurations and in-flight entertainment systems - a move which will greatly ease the burden on the current production lines in Valruzia and shorten the time in which the planes are delivered to clients. Baranska said that the company is currently in the phase of negotiations with the Kalistani government. The company pushes for a location in the continental part of Kalistan which would greatly ease the logistics of the undertaking by diversification of means of transport with which the planes can be transported to Kalistan - air or road (disassembled planes) or trains.

In addition, Reglair is planning to establish an aviation centre functioning next to the plant to develop an entire industrial chain for aircraft manufacturing, with the capacity of assembling, delivering and modifying up to 400 planes a year by 4745.
