Turkey has signed an agreement with Ukrainian aircraft manufacturing company Antonov on the joint production of passenger and cargo aircraft.
The agreement came after Turkey initiated work on a domestic plane by obtaining the licenses of planes produced by German aircraft manufacturer Dornier.
As a part of the work on the domestic plane, the Transportation, Maritime Affairs and Communications Ministry will simultaneously work on the TRJ328 and TAN-158 models.
As such, talks between Turkey and Ukraine for a joint plane project have progressed in line with Daily Sabah's reporting one year ago.
Turkey will work to produce a TAN-158 model passenger plane based on Ukraine's An-158 model passenger plane on the one hand, and will develop and produce a cargo plane based on Ukraine's An-178 model cargo plane on the other.
The agreement also encapsulates issues such as training nuclear power plant staff and enabling Turkish students to undergo a period of training in Ukraine.
