The Xian MA60 (新舟60, Xīnzhōu 60, "Modern Ark 60") is a turboprop-powered airliner made by China's Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation under the China Aviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC I). The MA60 is a stretched version of the Xi'an Y7-200A and a close copy of the An-26 cargo plane. The plane was first tested in 1993, and given its airworthiness certificate in 1998 from the Civil Aviation Administration of China. A year later, two MA60s were put into operation by Chang'an Airlines.
