Russia and Ukraine can resume cooperation on An-124 – 100
“GP Antonov” may agree to extend the airworthiness of the aircraft of the Russian company Volga-Dnepr in Ulyanovsk, although the cooperation of countries in the aviation industry is demonstratively interrupted after the annexation of the Crimea. In return, Kiev can receive documentation to extend the life of the Il-76 aircraft, ”the newspaper writes.
The “Kommersant” interlocutor in the Russian aviation industry is convinced that Kiev’s possible involvement of the Antonov state enterprise in the work on the results of the new negotiations is more necessary for Moscow than for Moscow.
A source close to the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers expressed the hope that the agreements will eventually be concluded, unless "the Verkhovna Rada puts political expediency above common sense."
According to him, if the Ukrainian side "rests on Ruslans", then in response it may receive problems on IL-76, for the extension of the resource which requires documentation of the Russian design bureau.
