El Avro 748 fue una aeronave de línea, con turbopropulsor de corto rango, diseñado por Avro a fines de los 1950s, reemplazando a los DC-3 que ya habían prestado innumerables servicios. Avro concentró su performance, en despegue STOL, y consigió un pedido de 380 aeronaves.
El diseño original 748 arrancó en 1958 después de malos negocios con Fuerzas Armadas, y Avro decidió reentrar en el mercado comercial.
The first aircraft flew from Avro's Woodford plant on June 24, 1960, and two prototypes quickly proved the type's short field performance. Eighteen 748 Series 1 aircraft were produced, the first for British Skyways Coach-Air (later known as Dan-Air) but the majority for Aerolíneas Argentinas. By this point Avro had been merged into the Hawker-Siddeley Group and the design was known as the HS 748.
The Series 2 entered production in 1961 with a higher take-off weight, and were produced to 198 examples, making it one of the most popular post-war British designs. The more powerful Series 2A followed for another 71, along with another 25 Series 2Bs.
The Royal Air Force ordered a version (as the Hawker Siddeley Andover C1) modified with a raised tailplane to accommodate a rear loading ramp and a kneeling undercarriage.
The 748 Series 1 and Series 2 was license produced in India by Hindustan Aeronautics as the HAL-748. HAL built 89 aircraft in India, 72 for the Indian Air Force and 17 for the Indian Airlines Corporation. The later production for the Indian Air Force (the last 20 built) were Series 2M aircraft with a Large Freight Door. Aircraft were later modified for a variety of roles including a trials aircraft for an Airborne Early Warning version fitted with a large radome.
Hawker Siddeley became part of British Aerospace in the mid-1970s with the Series 2B becoming the main production model.
Several large fleets remain active around the world, significantly in India, Canada and the United Kingdom.
El código ICAO usado en plan de vuelo es A748.
