Russia's MC-21 aircraft is expected to cost around $100.9 million after 2030 due to increased production and reduced costs. State subsidies will cover initial price differences for airlines, with plans to phase them out as production scales.
The United Aircraft Company (UAC) is nearing completion of its first batch of civilian aircraft, with Tu-214 deliveries ongoing and the first Il-114-300 expected this year. Certification for SJ-100 and MC-21 planes is also in its final stages.
The United Aircraft Company (UAC) anticipates signing a contract in 2026 for a second batch of 90 MC-21 passenger jets to Aeroflot. Discussions are underway for preferential financing options, as the first lot of 18 aircraft is already in production.
The confirmed flight range of Russia's MC-21 passenger jet will be increased to 4,000 km, according to Vadim Badekha, CEO of the United Aircraft Company. This extended range is expected to cover 80-90% of current airline route networks.
