Iran may purchase Antonov-158 passenger planes from Ukraine after one aircraft completed a test flight in the Iranian capital yesterday, state-run Press TV reported, without citing anyone.

If Iran purchases the aircraft some 30 percent of each plane will be made in Iran, according to a report published late yesterday on the news channel’s website.

The twin-engined regional airliner can carry as many as 99 passengers, Press-TV said.
