The first shipments of the Ukrainian-Russian Antonov-148 regional passenger jets to India may start in the summer of 2012. This information was made available at the just concluded AeroIndia 2011 air show at Bangalore.

The An-148 at Le Bourget, Paris Air Show 2007Indian carriers have firm orders for eight passenger version and 10 cargo versions of these aircraft in addition to eleven options.

"The first An-148 planes may be delivered to India as early as next summer. As a condition for this, the validation of the An-148 type certificate is taking place in India. At the meetings which took place during the air show, the parties spoke about the establishment of a centre for aircraft maintenance and the system of after-sale servicing," an Antonov statement said.

Discussions with Indian representatives also took place about the development of the An-178 transport aircraft, An-148VIP and An-168 ABJ planes, the press service said. The possibility of marketing the An-74 aircraft in the Southeast Asia market was also looked at as well as the possibility of the An-74MP (marine patrol) version of the aircraft being offered for a possible Indian Navy tender.

Ukrainian delegates held talks with heads of Indian enterprises, including the Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) and the Tata Group, ministries, agencies, airlines of India and other countries of Southeast Asia as well as representatives of the Indian Air Force.

Antonov expects to sell 200 aircrafts in Indian market in the next 15 years.

I hope Indian airlines maintain their planes better than the Indian air force. I do not want to visit India holding on to the bus because of fear of flying.

Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about? Do your country maintain their aircraft well? If they do than so is India.

Its good to know that India maintain the aircraft well. As an American, I don't think the US government maintain the aircraft well as each individual airlines maintain the aircraft.

well Civilian Aircrafts are a lot more reliable than 3.5 Gen fighters like Mig21 Bison or Mig27

The reason why Mig21/27 crash is becoz they have been in service for 25-30 yrs while there Airframe life was only expected to be 20 yrs

Also most Civilian aircraft crashes which are also far rare in between mainly happen due to Bad weather condition or Tire bursting

In the last 20 yrs there have been 2 Civilian crashes in India , one was due to Heavy rain due to which the plane skidded of the Runway , Second was due to Engine failure

What you should be typing is:

"As a Chinese guy/girl/whatever who is ashamed of his country therefore pretends to be American, while writing English like he/she/it learned it just a few years ago................, I don't think the US government maintain the aircraft well as each individual airlines maintain the aircraft."
 
Its pathetic to compare fighter jet made in 1980's and has completed it life cycle with a new commercial plane......
But need some reason to bash india right so...

I'm not bashing India. I was just voicing my concern. In any case, its good to know that commercial airliners do not drop out of the sky like that of military planes. Good for India.
