Xi'an Aircraft Co delivers two turboprops MA600 freighters to Yemen

FELIX AIRWAYS, part-owned by the Yemeni government, has taken delivery of two MA600 freighters, the first of six ordered from China's Xi'an Aircraft Co.

The carrier is the launch customer for the freighter version of the aircraft, which made its inaugural flight last fall. The twin-engine turboprops are expected to fly agricultural produce and seafood to regional export markets.
