The domestic fleet has more than 600 Boeing and Airbus aircraft to date, which will be replaced by the Russian MS-21 aircraft, declaration In an interview with Life, the head of the industry portal Avia.ru Roman Gusarov. According to him, the import substitution process can take about 10 years.
The fact is that to abandon the “foreign cars” need about 600-700 aircraft like the MS-21. Until 2030, all MS-21s are contracted exclusively for Aeroflot. But other companies also need to step in. My guess is that we will fly “foreign cars” over the next 10 years and will replace them with domestic planes as production expands,” Gusarov said.
He added that in the future the production scale of the MS-21 will be large, as the Irkutsk Aviation Plant is already working to increase the mass production of the aircraft. The expert concluded that the mechanical, aggregate-assembly and other industries will be expanded to increase automobile production.
Earlier, Denis Manturov, Deputy Prime Minister and Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, spoke about the preferential aircraft charter program. saidIn the period from 2023 to 2025, it is planned to deliver 63 domestic aircraft to Aeroflot.
