Antonov AN-140 UR-140004 History The regional aircraft Antonov AN-140 (tail number UR-14004, serial number 36525302008) was built in 2003 and the same year was delivered to former Odessa Airlines and subsequently operated by Aeromost Kharkiv and Motor Sich Airlines. This Antonov AN-140 was written off after the aircraft made an emergency landing in Kyiv without a deployed front landing gear (flight Ivano-Frankivsk - Kyiv) in 2008 and was stored in a non-flying condition for a long time on the territory of the Antonov Plant in Kyiv. After repairs in 2009 operation of Antonov AN-140 (tail number UR-14004) was not resumed. Welcome to visit the Kyiv Aviation Training Hangar and donate for Antonov AN-140 UR-140004 Future!
