- YAKUTIYA MAY PURCHASE LATEST SMALL PLANES FROM SAMARA. This year Samara's airplane manufacturer, Aviakor, will begin producing
a new AN-140 model of airplanes, designed to replace the AN-24 model, which has been in operation for over 40 years in some
24 countries of the world. By the year 2000 all existing AN-24 models will have outlived their useful life. According to Aviakor
President Lev Khasis, Yakutiya's Sakha Airlines might be the first to receive ten AN-140 planes. The deal is a part of a larger
agreement between the leaders of Sakha Republic (Yakutiya) and Samara Oblast. The new plane is designed to travel short and
medium-length distances at 750-800 km/hour, or 1.2 times faster than the AN-24. Additionally, it can carry 52 passengers and
cover a distance of 3,700 kilometers. Although it will require a runway 1.5 longer than that used by the AN-24, the AN-140
will burn fuel two times more efficiently per passenger/kilometer. Each unit will cost about $6-7 million. (Yakutiya, 20 January)

China Xinjiang Airlines to Order Three Russian Planes
BEIJING, Jul 14, 2000 -- (Agence France Presse) Regional carrier China
Xinjiang Airlines is expected to conclude negotiations in August over a
100-million-dollar order for three Russian passenger airplanes, according to
industry weekly Flight International.
The three Ilyushin Il-96-300s, long-range jets with seats for 230, will be
built at a production plant in the Russian city of Voronezh, the magazine
said.
So far, only eleven Il-96-300s have been delivered since production of the
plane began seven years ago, one of them operated by the Russian
presidential flight, it said.
Xinjiang Airlines, based in the northwestern city of Urumqi, already
operates a number of Russian aircraft, including three Il-86s, predecessors
of the Il-96, according to the magazine.
It is unclear how the order will fit with Chinese plans to limit local
carriers' purchases of aircraft.
China said in January it would not allow local airlines to buy new large and
medium-sized aircraft this year, because local carriers were not using their
planes to full capacity.
However, the government said smaller planes for domestic routes could be
purchased and encouraged airlines with routes of less than 500 kilometers
(310 miles) to develop quickly in 2000.
Xinjiang Airlines transported 1,38 mln passengers (+ 13,2%) in 1996.
