Russia’s state corporation Rostech is in talks with Bombardier on a joint venture to build the Q400 in Ulyanovsk.
Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov was quoted in Reuters as saying, “We proposed creating a joint venture with Bombardier to produce aircraft. We estimate investment in the project would be about $100 million. Today, no legally binding documents have been signed, so I can't say anything further, but most likely it will be a 50-50 joint venture,” according to Reuters.
Aviacapital-Service leasing company CEO Roman Pakhomov said Russia’ local carriers and state structures may need around 400 regional aircraft through 2020, depending on the regional airports infrastructure development.

Dette er vel et projekt Bombardier ikke sier nei til, Russland vil over noen år nå miste mange av sine gammle Antonov 30-50seters propellfly...da de er utgått på dato eller får flyforbud.
