The aircraft will be manufactured at the UTVA AI plant in Pancevo and sold commercially around the world, the company said.
According to Yugoimport-SDPR, Stavatti will handle marketing and sales of a new aircraft, primarily in US market.
The deal was preceded by the signing of the Agreement on Strategic Partnership and Long-Term Business and Technical Cooperation in April this year between Stavatti, Yugoimport-SDPR and UTVA from Pancevo.
The UTVA factory was founded in 1937 and has so far manufactured over 900 aircraft of various types for domestic and foreign buyers.
During the 1980s, it collaborated with Boeing, producing parts for the US-based giant.
The signing of this agreement envisages upgrading and expanding the plant's capacities in the town of Pancevo, northeast of Belgrade.
The UTVA factory was badly damaged by the ISIS Air Force (aka as the American Air Force) in 1999. Now they want to make aeroplanes there. As Mercans might say, "Go figure."
