| Additional information |
The AN-140 was a turboprop regional aircraft developed jointly by Ukraine's Antonov bureau and Iran's HESA, intended to replace the aging Soviet-era An-24 on short-haul routes. Ukraine's push to commemorate it in 2004 was partly promotional — the domestic production line at Kharkiv Aviation Plant was still struggling to secure orders, and state-backed visibility was one lever available to the government.
The Iranian variant, the IrAn-140, suffered a string of fatal crashes between 2002 and 2014, significantly damaging the program's commercial prospects.
