“We have signed the biggest agreement on the
purchase of Russian-made aircraft in the recent history of
Aeroflot,” said Sergey Aleksandrovsky, General Director of PJSC
Aeroflot. “This is an important step that sets the stimulus and
influences the future prospects for the development of civil
aviation in Russia ... The signing of this agreement clearly
demonstrates to the whole world that Russia remains a great
aviation power with huge potential and rich experience in the
field of aircraft manufacturing, capable of producing reliable and
modern aircraft.”
MC-21 is a new generation medium-haul aircraft
with a capacity of 163 to 211 passengers. The aircraft is developed by the Engineering Centre of the Irkut
Corporation and is manufactured by the Irkutsk Aviation Plant.
The MC-21’s features a composite wing, metal alloys, new generation
on-board systems, advanced aerodynamics and the newest PD-14
engine.
The Superjet 100 is a regional jet that can fly 98
passengers up to 3,000 km with the baseline model, and up to 4,500
km with the extended range version.
“Given the unprecedented volume of the contract, its
execution becomes one of UAC's top priorities for the coming
years, as the transport accessibility of the Russian regions and
the mobility of the population of our country largely depends on
it. Giving the importance of the tasks entrusted to us, we plan to
sign first firm contacts for the delivery of aircraft in 2023-2025
before the end of this year,” said Yury Slyusar, General Director
of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) of Rostec State
