Russia To Produce 200 Airliners Annually
State defense orders are going to subside, and the industry is looking to replace them with civil orders.
The MC-21 narrowbody is expected to account for some 70 annual deliveries in Russia, according to a recent forecast that calls for the country to produce 200 passenger aircraft annually. The aircraft is expected to be certified this year, and UAC has plans to use indigenous parts as U.S. sanctions have placed limits on some components.

Over the next few years, Russia is going to increase the output of passenger aircraft up to 200 annually. These would break into 70 MC-21 narrowbody jets, up to 50 SSJ100 regional jets, 20 Il-114-300 regional turboprops, a handful of Il-96-400M quads plus some L-610 larger and L-410 smaller commuter airplanes. Besides, through CRAIC joint venture with China’s Comac, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) is going to produce the CR929 next-gen widebody jetliner.
