China to deliver eight Y-8 aircraft to Venezuela

Jun 3, 2011 Trade

China's AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry (Group) Co. confirmed on Thursday that it will deliver eight Y-8 commercial aircraft to Venezuela.


The aircraft will all be delivered to the country by August 2012, a company official said.


The official added that due to customer demands, the planes will undergo several changes before being delivered, including changes to the aircraft's dashboard layout, avionics system, lighting and power distribution systems.


These changes will make the aircraft more adaptable to changing flight conditions, the official said.


The Y-8 is the largest medium-sized multifunction transport plane entirely researched and developed by China.


As a major Chinese commercial aircraft, Y-8 aircraft have been exported to several countries, including Sri Lanka, Sudan, Myanmar and Iran. China has exported a total of 25 Y-8s so far, including the eight aircraft that will be delivered to Venezuela.
