Russia's Domestic Aviation Industry Gains Momentum Amid Sanctions
The Federal Air Transport Agency has approved a modified Tu-214 with domestic-made systems and components, which will enable serial production and delivery to Russian airlines. Eight planes will be built in 2026, followed by 12 in 2027, and then from 2028 production will rise to 20 per year. This development comes as Russia seeks to overcome Western sanctions that have limited its access to Boeing and Airbus aircraft parts.
