Military transport jets, notably the An-178, represent the most promising niche for Antonov, Abromavičius told Channel 24 last month, shortly after firing the head of the state aircraft maker. “Together with the new management of Antonov, we will make every effort to ensure that in 2021 our military and police purchase at least two An-178 transport aircraft,” he said. Noting that Antonov is now building one An-178 for Peru’s National Police, he said the company is participating in a tender to sell a second plane to Peru and is pursuing potential sales in Azerbaijan, India, and Turkey.
