{{Infobox_Company|company_name = Antonov ASTC|company_logo = |company_type = State-owned company|location = [Kiev, Ukraine, founder|num_employees =|industry = [Aerospace and Arms industry|products = Transport aircraftMilitary aircraft|revenue =|homepage = antonov.com-->Antonov, or Antonov Aeronautical Scientific/Technical Complex (Antonov ASTC) (), formerly the Antonov Design Bureau, is a Ukraine-based (since 1952) aircraft manufacturing and services company with particular expertise in the field of very large aircraft construction.

Antonov ASTC is a state-owned commercial company.

History The company is named after Oleg Antonov, its founder and head designer of An-2, An-24, An-22 and other legendary planes.

The Antonov company lacks facilities for full construction of some aircraft, a result of Soviet Union industrial strategy that split military production between different regions of the USSR. This distribution minimized potential war risks, and prevented Soviet republics from developing self-sufficient economies. As a result, Antonov airplanes were often constructed by aerospace companies in Kharkiv (Ukraine), Novosibirsk (Russia), and Tashkent (Uzbekistan).

Products and activities Fields of commercial activity of Antonov ASTC include:

Aircraft construction and manufacture
Airfreight services (Antonov Airlines)
Aircraft maintenance and upgrading
Aerospace related engineering support
Operation of the Gostomel Airport
Trolley bus construction and manufacture (a spin-off, using existing technical expertise).

Aircraft Antonov's airplanes (design office prefix An) range from the rugged Antonov An-2 biplane (which itself is comparatively large for a biplane) through the Antonov An-28 reconnaissance aircraft to the massive Antonov An-124 and Antonov An-225 strategic airlifters (the latter being the world's biggest aircraft in service). Whilst less famous, the Antonov An-24, Antonov An-26 and Antonov An-30 series of twin turboprop, high winged, passenger transport aircraft are important for domestic air services particularly in parts of the world once led by communist governments. The Antonov An-72 series of small jetliners is slowly replacing that fleet and a larger Antonov An-70 freighter is under certification. The An-70 is outwardly similar to the Airbus Airbus A400M design that has yet to fly in Western Europe.
