As per the documents accessed by Free Press, the government has rolled out many priorities in the Request for Proposal (RFP) to buy the twin engine jet airplane. For instance, the aeroplane engines must be in compliance with noise environmental standards.

The plane must be capable of carrying eight to ten passengers in the main cabin (excluding any jump seats, toilet seats, galley seats) plus two pilots.
