AN-74TK-300D was released in 2004 on the basis of a cargo-passenger AN-74TK-300 aircraft released in 2001 when engines of AN-72 / 74 were moved from the top of aircraft wings to another position under the wings. “InterAMI-Interior”, as part of the “InterAMI” corporation, designed a new VIP passenger interior for the aircraft. The Ministry of Transport of Ukraine’s initiative gave the first AN-74TK-300D special registry number that highlighted the fact that Presidents of Ukraine use an aircraft produced in Ukraine. After the aircraft was transferred in 2004 into the ownership of “Ukraine” State Enterprise, it acquired a registry number UR-LDK (L.D. Kuchma) and was later renamed as UR-YVA (Yushchenko V.A.). The number was changed to a neutral UR-AWB in 2012.
