At a time when relations between Russia and Ukraine are at an all time low, an aircraft program may be the key to finding new opportunities for the two nations to work together. At Farnborough International this year there are two Antonov An-140 turboprop transports parked side-by-side on the tarmac. One is from the Ukraine-based Kharkov State Aircraft Manufacturing Company (KSAMC) and the other was produced by the Aviakor aircraft production plant in Samara, Russia. The latter is painted in the livery of Yakutia Airlines, which was one of the original customers for the aircraft.
