Nov 24, 2023 (newstodate): To remedy the ban on sale of western aircraft to Russia, the country's aircraft industry is under heavy pressure to boost production.
   According to a Strategy for the Development of the Russian Manufacturing Industry until 2030 and for the period until 2035, the share of domestically produced aircraft in the country's airline fleets will increase significantly.
   According to the strategy, by 2025 Russian-built aircraft will account for over 53 percent; by 2028 the proportion will increase to 66.8 percent, and by 2030 the share of Russian aircraft will reach 81.3 percent.
    In 2022, Russia’s ministry for industry and trade issued a revised plan calling for the production of 1,000 aircraft by domestic manufacturers through 2030.     
   The new ministerial 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.  
   In response, the Kazan Aviation Plant plans to begin supplying Tu-214 aircraft to airlines from 2023.
   There is still, however, a long way to go: Kazan expects to deliver three aircraft in 2023, seven in 2024, and then 10 aircraft annually.
