In addition, maintenance and revision of the engines AI-20D can be carried out. As a result of the modernization, the maximum take-off mass of the An-32B will increase to 28,5 tons, and the noise level of the transport will decrease.
As a result of similar work on the An-32 Indian Air Force, the service life of transport workers will increase to 2025 year. Currently, Peru is armed with eight An-32 transporters, three of which belong to the Air Force.
Earlier, the Peruvian Air Force held a tender for the repair and upgrading of three transport workers, but at the end of 2012, it was canceled.
