Jun 20, 2022 (newstodate): Banned from imports of new western-built aircraft, and hardly capable of maintaining its existing fleet, Russia claims to be heading for a major boost of its own aircraft production.
   Russia’s ministry for industry and trade has issued a revised plan calling for the production of 1,000 aircraft by domestic manufacturers through 2030.  
   The new policy envisages the production of 564 large aircraft including 12 Ilyushin Il-96-300, 270 MC21-310, 70 Tupolev Tu-214, 142 of Sukhoi Superjet 100, and 70 Il-114-300 regional aircraft.  
   To serve the country's regional airlines, the plan also calls for production of aircraft types including L-410, and Baikal commuter aircraft.
   The plans seem very optimistic; as one example, the KAPO factory in the Tatarstan  capital Kazan expecs to complete only three Tu-214 aircraft in 2023, seven in 2024, and some 10 aircraft annually in the years after.
   -Despite big investments coming to the factory from the federal budget, there are still some grey zone and uncertainties. Because of these difficulties, the local manufacturers could, at best, produce only about 110 new jetliners by 2025, Tatarstan's PM informed the Republic’s State Council, according to Russian media.
   Similarly, Sukhoi last year planned for completion of only 37 Super 100 aircraft.
