With a maximum range of approximately 2,500 nautical miles, the An-32 is expertly suited for regional routes, cross-country missions, and access to remote locations without refueling. Its range covers city pairs such as Nairobi to Cairo, Mumbai to Bangkok, or Mexico City to Lima, all nonstop with reserves. | The aircraft’s high-speed cruise of 255 knots ensures timely arrivals, while its powerful turboprop engines and short takeoff and landing requirements allow it to operate from airports that are inaccessible to most other airliners. Operators enjoy the flexibility to schedule demanding and unconventional routings with the assurance of proven reliability. | With a takeoff roll of just 4,000 feet and a landing roll of 3,500 feet, the An-32 is an excellent choice for airports with short or unimproved runways, giving travelers access to destinations far beyond the reach of conventional jets.
