Ukrainian Company to Cooperate with Iran in Antonov-148 Plane Manufacturing
TEHRAN (FNA)- The Kiev headquarters of Antonov Aerospace Company and Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company have signed a contract to manufacture 78 Antonov-148 aircraft, a Ukrainian official announced.
Dmitry Kiva, the chairman of the Kiev headquarters of the Antonov Aerospace Company, made the remarks at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday, and expressed hope that all the planes would be manufactured by the end of 2011.
Kiva stated that Antonov and Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company have signed a contract to manufacture the planes.
He went on to say that Antonov will produce the twin-engine mid-range turboprop for the mid-range jet airliner.
The Iranian Defense Ministry has been manufacturing a licensed version of the Antonov-148 since 2009.
The manufacturing cost of each An-148 unit, which can carry between 68 and 99 passengers, is estimated at between 18 and 22 million dollars.
The first IRAN-140 aircraft was introduced by Iran in 2003. Five domestically-manufactured IRAN-140 planes were completed in October to increase the country's transportation capacity and upgrade the Iranian air force.
