Mexico sold the presidential plane, which it put up for sale a few years ago, to Tajik authorities. It seems that now the head of the Central Asian republic, Emomali Rahmon, will fly over him.
“I announce to the people of Mexico that a contract has been signed today for the sale of the presidential aircraft. The government of Tajikistan transferred 1,658,684,400 pesos, according to the official estimate.” life.ru
According to the current exchange rate, the transfer amount exceeds 92 million dollars. As the Mexican president noted, these funds are planned to be directed towards the construction of two hospitals.
The aircraft was ordered by Felipe Calderone in 2012. The liner came in February 2016, when Enrique Peña Nieto was at the helm of the country. Experts estimated the plane at a multi-million dollar amount – from 220 to 400 million dollars. At the same time, Andres Manuel López Obrador, who came to power in 2018, never used the ship and promised to sell it for a long time.
