According to the prime minister, in the near future the Ukrainian AN-74 will leave for Kazakhstan.

"We plan to continue working on new markets, develop export potential," Groisman said..

Also, the Ukrainian politician stressed that for the aircraft the customer had already paid $ 15 million.

At the same time, the general director of the aircraft factory Alexander Krivokon added that the airliner plans to release in September 2018. In addition, the plant has two An-140 aircraft not yet shipped to the customer.

"If they do not succeed in selling them, we plan to finish them with the help of a domestic carrier and launch them on flights," Krivokon added..

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform" NATO aircraft tried to escort the plane of the Russian Defense Minister over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, when he was traveling to Kaliningrad. But he was "chased away" by the Russian Su-27 fighter.
