State-owned aircraft manufacturer PT Dirgantara Indonesia (DI) will begin producing the Spanish-designed Casa 212-400 light aircraft in early 2010.

DI president director Budi Santoso said Wednesday the company would start producing the aircraft after Spain-based EADS-Construcciones AeronĀ uticas S.A. (CASA) had completed the relocation of its Spanish production facilities to Indonesia.
