Primul Meridian, a long-standing Romanian customer of Diamond Aircraft and pioneer in special mission aerial surveying, has taken delivery of a DA62 MPP SurveyStar. This milestone marks a new chapter in a nearly two-decade partnership, as Primul Meridian upgrades its fleet to the latest generation of Diamond's special mission aircraft.

Primul Meridian holds a distinguished place in Diamond's history as one of the very first operators of the DA42 MPP GeoStar, the predecessor to today's advanced DA62 MPP SurveyStar. Since then, the company has built an impressive track record in aerial survey and mapping operations, relying on Diamond's efficiency, performance and mission flexibility.

“This delivery represents more than just a fleet upgrade; it is a continuation of a trusted partnership,” remarks Cristian Glont, managing director at Primul Meridian. “Having been among the first to operate the DA42 MPP GeoStar, we are proud to take delivery of the DA62 MPP SurveyStar. This aircraft will significantly enhance our operational capabilities and allow us to deliver even greater value to our clients.”

“We are delighted to see Primul Meridian continue its journey with Diamond Aircraft,” adds Mario Spiegel, head of sales special mission aircraft, at Diamond Aircraft. “Its longstanding trust in our special mission aircraft and its role as an early adopter of the DA42 MPP GeoStar make this delivery particularly meaningful. The DA62 MPP SurveyStar represents a significant step forward in capability, efficiency and versatility.”

The DA62 MPP SurveyStar builds upon the success of its predecessor, offering enhanced payload capacity, extended endurance and improved mission system integration. Designed for demanding aerial survey and ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance) operations, the aircraft provides operators with greater flexibility and productivity.

Primul Meridian has been operating Diamond special mission aircraft for almost 20 years, supporting a wide range of aerial data acquisition missions across Romania and beyond. The addition of the DA62 MPP SurveyStar to its fleet underscores the company's continued investment in cutting-edge technology to meet evolving customer demands.

The DA62 MPP SurveyStar is expected to play a key role in Primul Meridian's future projects, supporting high-precision aerial surveying, mapping and data collection missions with increased efficiency and reliability.
