Negotiations are under way between the Chinese and Ecuadorian governments for the purchase of two Xian MA60H-500 transports for the latter's air force.
Also to include options for a further two aircraft, the potential deal has been valued at nearly $38 million.
If introduced, the MA60s would be expected to replace the Ecuadorian air force's last three British Aerospace HS748s, which were previously acquired from the Brazilian air force.
