China to Export 4 Y-12 Aircraft to Russia for the First Time Ever

Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co., Ltd. (HAIG), a subsidiary of Aviation Industry Cooperation of China (AVIC), signed a contract with a Russian airline to sell four Y12 aircraft after the 10th China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition (Zhuhai Airshow).

This is the first time for China to export civilian aircraft to Russia, a traditional large aviation market.

Previously, HAIG and Coptervision reached a purchase agreement for 20 Y-12 multi-purpose aircraft including 18 Y-12Es and 2 Y-12Fs. The 20 aircraft will be used in the sightseeing tours, as well as short-haul passenger and cargo transport.
