The Antonov An-28 is a 2-engined light prop transport aircraft developed from the Antonov An-14M. It was the winner of a competition against the Beriev Be-30 for use by Aeroflot as a short-range airliner. It first flew in 1969. A total of 191 were built and 68 remain in airline service at August 2006. After a short pre-production series built by Antonov it was licence-built in Poland by PZL-Mielec. In 1993 PZL-Mielec developed its own improved variant the PZL M-28 Skytruck.
