Sri Lanka to Purchase MA60 Transport Aircraft from China
Sri Lanka is to purchase six turboprop-powered MA60 transport aircraft from China with the help of a Chinese government preferred loan scheme, an aviation website quoted an official at Xian Aircraft as saying.
Sri Lanka is to receive two of its MA60s this year, with the remainder to be delivered in 2011, says the Xian official.
Sri Lanka's ports and aviation ministry confirms that the country is in negotiations to buy six MA60s for the air force.
The Sri Lankan air force currently relies on Antonov An-32s, Lockheed Martin C-130s and Chinese-built Harbin Y12s for its transport activities.
Chinese firms are helping to finance and build airports, roads and other infrastructure in Sri Lanka
