Sep 28, 2018 (newstodate): Optimism remains a key driver in Russia's aircraft manufacturing and exports businesses.
The Russian government has now published its plan for growth of its civil aviation production exports for the period up to 2024, aiming at a nine-fold increase in this business to USD 4.42 bio, against the USD 0.5 bio turn-over in 2017.
Today, Russia's only bid for commercial aircraft in the export market is the Superjet 100 of which only 22 aircraft are operated by non-Russian airlines including Interjet Airlines, seven by CityJet, and a few aircraft in VIP configuration serving the governments of Kazakhstan and Thailand.
Looming on the horizon is the MC-21 that has so far reaped 175 firm orders and 150 MoUs, but almost entirely from Russian and CIS carriers, with Egypt and Peru as possible exceptions.
