The Antonov An-158 is a Ukrainian regional jet developed by the Antonov State Enterprise as a stretched variant of the An-148. It features a longer fuselage capable of accommodating more passengers, making it suited for higher-density short- to medium-haul routes. The aircraft first flew in 2010 and entered commercial service with Cubana de Aviación in 2013. It shares most of its systems and components with the An-148, reducing training and maintenance costs for operators that already fly the base variant. Production has been limited, with only a small number of aircraft delivered. Political and economic disruptions following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine significantly hampered further development and sales prospects for the type.

Notable operators

Cubana de Aviación has been the primary commercial operator of the An-158.

Encyclopaedia

The Antonov An-148 is a regional jet designed and primarily built by the Ukrainian aerospace manufacturer Antonov of Ukraine. Between 2009 and 2018, the An-148 was also being produced on a second production line in Russia by Voronezh Aircraft Production Association; however, production of the type in Russia was discontinued as a consequence of the wider souring political relations between Ukraine and Russia. While the last Russian-built An-148 was completed in October 2018, Ukraine continued to both produce and develop the type.
