https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/3210 ... built-jetsAeroflot Group, the parent company of Russian flag carrier Aeroflot, has signed an agreement with the local aerospace manufacturer United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) for the purchase of 339 domestically made planes.
The agreement, which was signed on September 7, 2022,
consists of 210 Irkut MC-21 single-aisle passenger aircraft,
89 Sukhoi Superjet New and
40 Tupolev Tu-214 medium-range narrow-body airliners.
For instance, Chemezov believes that the MC-21 will soon “become the flagship aircraft” of the Aeroflot fleet.
“I note that all aircraft will be delivered in an import-substituted form:
with Russian-made on-board systems and units,” Chemezov said.
Following the delivery schedule, Aeroflot Group is expected to receive the first two Superjet New passenger planes in 2023.
Meanwhile, delivery of the first six MS-21s and the first seven Tu-214s is expected to take place in 2024.
