The Indonesian Aerospace N-219 Nurtanio is a light STOL utility aircraft developed by Indonesian Aerospace. Its maiden flight was in August 2017 and according to Indonesian Aerospace's CEO at the time, the plane was developed without any foreign assistance and designed from scratch.

For a direct comparison of its practicality, the aircraft also closely resembles the utility de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter but is equipped with a little more cargo space than the Twin Otter, making it useful for short island to island flights.
