    In 2022, Russia’s ministry for industry and trade thus issued a revised plan calling for the production of 1,000 aircraft by domestic manufacturers through 2030.      
   The ministerial policy envisages the production of 564 large aircraft including 12 Ilyushin Il-96-300, 270 MC21-310, 70 Tupolev Tu-214, 142 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.
