OREANDA-NEWS. January 12, 2010. According to Minister of Economy Mr. Danylyshyn’s press-release, Ukraine is making preparations for signing contracts to deliver nine AN-148 model aircrafts to Laos, United Arab Emirates and Egypt. The management of Antonov Plant has confirmed the fact of such negotiations with Egypt and Laos, but they have yet to announce specific details of the talks.

As Millennium Capital has emphasized before, the observed demand for Ukrainian aircrafts will have a positive impact on the order book of MotorSich , the only producer engines for the AN model aircraft. Please note that the Ukrainian aircraft building companies have received about 150 orders and options for AN-148 model aircraft to date.
