Russian carrier Rossiya's initial Antonov An-148, the first serially-produced example of the twin-jet, has been painted in the carrier's livery as delivery of the aircraft nears.
Voronezh-based airframer VASO recently rolled out the aircraft, RA-61701, which is configured in a two-class, 68-seat layout.
Rossiya expects to put the aircraft into service from St Petersburg from August.
Ukrainian carrier AeroSvit has already put an An-148, one of the prototype airframes, into commercial service on domestic routes.
