A press release from Millen Aviation Services rf. their action against Diamond Air
Millen Aviation Services says: 'We have on 17th December 2007 filed an action against Diamond Aircraft Industries in Austria. The claim for damages is based on our experience with our two DA40 1.7 TDI’s, their extremely poor reliability, high maintenance costs, waiting time for spare parts and, our firm belief of their premature release to market without sufficient research, development and testing.' During a phone interview Mike Millen added however that he does not question the future of aero diesel, essentially because of growing concern about price and availability of AvGaz in Europe and other parts of the world.
