The Antonov An-28 is a light twin-engine turboprop airplane designed for regional transport and utility missions. It was developed in the Soviet Union and entered service in the early 1980s. With a seating capacity for around 15 to 18 passengers, the An-28 is suited for short-haul routes in remote areas. Its high-wing configuration and fixed tricycle landing gear allow for easy loading and unloading on short or unimproved runways. The aircraft's two turboprop engines provide better fuel efficiency and performance. It has been used for passenger transport, cargo carriage, and specialized missions by operators in various countries.
