It is planned to produce more than a thousand aircraft in Russia by 2030, the statement of the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the country Denis Manturov, made at the government hour in the State Duma, reports TASS .
"A landmark event for the industry in the past year was the approval of the state civil order program. By 2030, our enterprises must build more than a thousand aircraft," the minister said.
According to him, deliveries of the IL-114 short-haul passenger aircraft should start in 2023.
In December, the "Military-Industrial Courier" (MIC) in a publication called "The Country of Falling Planes" wrote that 2021 was a record year for Russia in terms of the number of plane crashes. "In 11 months, 31 plane crashes occurred - more than 100 people were killed," the publication calculated.
In August, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) suspended test flights of a prototype Il-114 passenger aircraft after the crash of the Il-112B. A prototype of the newest Russian military transport aircraft IL-112B crashed on August 17 during a flight in the Moscow region. The incident occurred during a training flight. All three crew members were killed.
