It is in a deep crisis, with massive delays and minimal output due to sanctions. > > Which aircraft is Russia trying to produce? Mainly the SJ-100, MC-21, Tu-214, and IL-114, all with domestic components. > > Why are the new Russian aircraft delayed? Replacing Western components with local alternatives has resulted in technical issues, such as increased weight and lower efficiency, alongside production bottlenecks. Production figures highlight the steep decline. In 2021, before the conflict escalated, Russia added 52 commercial aircraft, including 27 Airbus, 3 Boeing, and 22 Sukhoi Superjets that still featured a high proportion of imported parts. Since then, the number has plummeted to just 13 aircraft: 12 Superjets and one Tupolev Tu-214, used by the government. Production targets for the 2024-2025 period, initially set at 171 aircraft, were slashed in June to just 21 units. A further downward revision was announced last month, citing financing costs and a sluggish supply chain. Rostec, the state-owned conglomerate managing the Superjet-100 (SJ-100), Tu-214, Ilyushin Il-114, and the highly anticipated Irkut MC-21 programs, is accumulating delays. The MC-21, once touted as an A320 and 737 competitor and now built entirely with Russian parts, has turned out heavier, with a shorter range and lower efficiency than projected. This has dampened interest from airlines. The serial production of the MC-21, as well as the SJ-100 with domestic PD-8 engines and the IL-114 turboprop, has been officially postponed to 2026, two years behind schedule. Despite import substitution efforts, Russia remains dependent on external suppliers. Customs data from 2024 revealed that parts worth at least $300,000 entered the country through intermediaries in Turkey, China, Kyrgyzstan, and the United Arab Emirates. Identified components included parts from Safran (France), Honeywell (USA), and Rolls-Royce (UK). These companies assert they are complying with sanctions and have control programs in place to prevent the diversion of their products. Minister of Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov, described the challenge as "unique and hyper-complex," stressing that "no other country in the world produces aircraft with completely domestically substituted imports." This supply contraction, coupled with sustained demand, has led to a steady increase in airfare prices throughout 2023 and 2024, according to data from Rosstat. The situation has become so dire that Moscow has resorted to using airlines from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to operate domestic routes, a clear sign of the difficulties Russian aviation faces in staying airborne.]]> https://www.aviacionline.com/a-dubai-lessor-received-282-million-dollars-for-the-aircraft-lost-in-russia 68cdfd7da0ea712e1fb1ae6f Wed, 23 Apr 2025 23:59:01 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/russia-will-need-to-manufacture-at-least-200-aircraft-to-replace-foreign-models 68cdfd86a0ea712e1fb1e6cf Wed, 19 Mar 2025 16:20:58 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/russias-superjet-sj-100-to-fully-replace-imported-components-by-2027 68cdfdd3a0ea712e1fb3252e Wed, 05 Mar 2025 17:28:46 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/united-engine-corporation-begins-serial-production-of-pd-14-engines-for-yakovlev-mc-21 68cdfd7ba0ea712e1fb1a0f6 Mon, 24 Feb 2025 16:55:40 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/russian-air-passenger-traffic-expected-to-decline-by-17-in-2025 68cdfddda0ea712e1fb35f46 Wed, 05 Feb 2025 17:27:46 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/aeroflot-ceo-outlines-2024-achievements-and-2025-goals 68cdfe00a0ea712e1fb3a260 Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:04:21 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/why-russias-civil-aviation-industry-is-falling-behind-in-aircraft-production 68cdfd99a0ea712e1fb263fa Sun, 19 Jan 2025 21:38:20 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/insurers-reject-claims-for-confiscated-aircraft-registered-in-russia 68cdfd99a0ea712e1fb266a3 Sun, 19 Jan 2025 19:37:15 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/irkutsk-aviation-plant-boosts-production-amid-challenges-aiming-to-accelerate-mc-21-assembly 68cdfe70a0ea712e1fb48992 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 16:45:18 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/cutting-corners-russia-seeks-to-certify-local-components-for-airbus-and-boeing-aircraft 68cdfe73a0ea712e1fb4a235 Tue, 22 Oct 2024 11:36:46 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/ssj-100-il-114-and-tu-214-russian-government-signs-letter-of-intent-for-238-uac-aircraft 68cdfec8a0ea712e1fb54a3f Wed, 04 Sep 2024 00:56:19 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/russia-proposes-brics-countries-collaborate-on-aircraft-engine-development 68cdfe7ba0ea712e1fb4d4b9 Sun, 25 Aug 2024 13:58:45 GMT https://www.aviacionline.com/magical-mistery-tour-an-airbus-a320-and-three-a330s-of-a-shady-african-airline-flew-to-minsk-to-end-up-in-russia 68cdfe85a0ea712e1fb508e0 Wed, 21 Aug 2024 10:40:05 GMT Bizarre Plane Triangle: Avoiding Sanctions, Iran Gets Two Additional Airbus A340 Speculation suggests that this unusual route could be a method to acquire aircraft and circumvent international sanctions affecting Russia’s commercial aviation.
