Grant Description
On September 16, 2011, AVIC International and Burundi’s Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Equipment signed a commercial contract for an MA60 Acquisition Project.
This contract was reportedly part of a “buy one, get one free” deal in which the Chinese Government promised to donate one MA60 from AVIC International on the condition that the Government of Burundi would buy a second MA60 aircraft from the same company.
On June 29, 2012, AVIC International successfully delivered the first MA60 (funded with a Chinese Government grant) to the Government of Burundi.
Then, on August 16, 2013, China Eximbank and the Government of Burundi signed a preferential loan framework agreement for the acquisition of one MA60 aircraft (capable of carrying 56 passengers).
However, it does not appears that a loan agreement was ever finalized.
