S7 Airlines intends to buy between 70 and 100 fully domestically produced Tu-214 passenger jets. Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov stated that the United Aircraft Corporation is in talks with S7's main shareholder regarding delivery terms and commercial issues.
The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) plans to produce four Tu-214 aircraft in 2026, with deliveries to special customers this year and to Red Wings starting in 2027. Investments aim for a mass production capacity of up to 20 aircraft annually.
The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) has begun delivering its Tu-214 passenger jet, with CEO Vadim Badekha confirming that supplies are underway. The upgraded aircraft, designed for medium-haul flights up to 4,500 km, recently received approval for structural changes and successfully completed certification trials using domestically produced materials and components.
Russian airlines' demand for the modernized Tu-214 passenger jet has significantly increased, according to Mikhail Parnev, CEO of the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK). Initially, aircraft will be delivered with a three-person crew, but later models will feature a standard two-pilot setup. New production lines at the Kazan Aviation Plant aim to meet delivery schedules.
