NEW DELHI (PTI): The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has delivered two Dornier 228 planes to the Guyana Defence Force, the country's President Mohamed Irfaan Ali said on Monday.

He shared the information along with photographs of the delivered aircraft in a post on X.

"The Hindustan Aeronautics Limited @HALHQBLR delivered two Dornier 228 planes to the Guyana Defence Force. The planes arrived at Cheddi Jagan International Airport last evening aboard two Boeing C-17 Globemaster military transport planes," he posted from his X handle.

In a post on X, the High Commission of India in Guyana, said, "High Commissioner welcomed IAF team visiting Guyana to deliver the HAL-228 aircraft as part of Line of Credit from India to Guyana. A new chapter in India-Guyana partnership begins."
