Antonov plans to promote its regional jets through an agreement with a Cyprus-based airplane leasing company owned by German businessman Ralf-Dieter Montag-Girmes. Antonov’s An-148/158 regional jets can seat up to 99 passengers, depending on seat configurations and flight distances. Currently, the list price is $32 million, about 20% lower than competitors made by Brazil’s Embraer and Canada’s Bombardier. In a new partnership with Aviall, a Boeing unit, Antonov hopes to restart assembly of regional jets next year at its plant in Gostomel, Kyiv region.
