Two brand-new MA60 regional jets have been delivered to Bolivia.

The 50-seat turboprops were produced by China Aviation Industry Corp I. And their sale to Bolivia marks the first entry of Chinese-made aircraft into the South American market.

There are already 116 standing orders for the MA60, with 86 of these coming from overseas clients. Deliveries so far have been to Zimbabwe, Laos, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
