On December 27, 2024, another Tu-214 aircraft built at this enterprise made its first flight at the airfield of the Kazan Aviation Plant named after S.P. Gorbunov, a branch of PJSC Tupolev (part of PJSC United Aircraft Corporation of Rostec State Corporation). The aircraft with factory number (short) 035, serial number 535 and registration number RA-64535 was built as a VIP lounge for the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and became the first new Tu-214 aircraft to be flown in three and a half years.
