Fairchild Dornier confidently predicts that it will secure launch orders for its planned 70/78-seat 728JET by mid-1999. Fairchild Dornier senior vice-president, sales and marketing, Andrew Jampoler says: "We are still in discussions with Lufthansa CityLine and Crossair, and it is our expectation that these discussions will end with large orders for the 728JET from both operators…well before this time next year".
