loading was only 40 percent. But this year, PTDI is still continuing the Three National Strategic Programs, namely PUNA Elang Hitam (
Medium Altitude Long Endurance Unmanned Aircraft ) with the first flight target at the end of 2021. As for the N219 Amphibious Aircraft (N219A) and the National Missile, the plan is to get certified in 2024.”
