摘要

Czech manufacturer Aircraft Industries has signed a letter of intent to supply up to 20 Let L-410UVP-E20 commuter turboprops to a Chinese customer in a deal worth $126 million. It follows negotiations with China Aviation Supplies (CASC), a government agency responsible for distributing imported civil aviation products in the country. Aircraft Industries says the deal is "the first practical result" of its August 2015 agreement with CASC subsidiary China General Aviation Supplies relating to sales support for the L-410 in the Chinese market, including help obtaining civil certification for the twin turboprop in the country.
