The Northern Territory (NT) has beaten New South Wales and Queensland to secure a deal to construct the iconic Albatross amphibious aircraft at Darwin Airport.

This will make the Territory Australia’s first manufacturer and exporter of the Albatross G-111T, an aircraft capable of taking off from and landing on land, snow, ice, and water, according to a  media release on Wednesday.
