Over ₽305 billion will be invested in the aviation industry development program until 2027
The Russian government plans to invest ₽305,8 billion in the aviation industry development program from 2022 to 2027. This became known in early October 2024 from the passport of the state program "Development of the aviation industry."
According to TASS, according to the document, the share of Russian-made aircraft in the fleet of the country's largest air carriers by 2027 will reach 25%. In 2024 and 2025, this figure will be 19%, by 2026 it will increase to 20%, and by 2030 it should reach at least 50%.
As for domestic helicopters, their share in the fleet of aircraft will grow from 88.3% in 2024 to 88.7% by 2027.
The draft federal budget for three years provides for an increase in funding for the aviation industry development program by 62% compared to previously planned volumes. In 2025, it is planned to allocate ₽49,1 billion for these purposes, in 2026 - ₽65,1 billion, and in 2027 - ₽53 billion.
Additional funds for the development of the aviation industry in 2025-2027 are also provided within the framework of the national project "Industrial provision of transport mobility." The federal project "Production of aircraft and helicopters" included in it involves state support in the amount of ₽101,3 billion in 2025, ₽139,6 billion in 2026 and ₽109,7 billion in 2027.
Most of the enterprises of the Russian aviation industry are concentrated in PJSC United Aircraft Corporation and JSC Russian Helicopters, which are part of the Rostec state corporation. The creation of regional-class aircraft is engaged, in particular, in the Ural Civil Aviation Plant.
In addition to subsidies from the federal budget, the implementation of projects in the aviation industry is supported by funds from the National Welfare Fund.[1]
In Russia, 40% of the world's engines for front-line aviation are produced
Russia is part of the major league of world engine building. This was announced in mid-September 2024 in an interview with NTV by the deputy head of the United Engine Corporation (UEC) Mikhail Remizov.
According to him, in the segment of power plants for front-line aviation, UEC occupies about 40% of the world market. Remezov notes that Russia produces more such units than Western companies General Electric and Pratt & Whitney. It is said that one of the main challenges facing the corporation is to return to the civil aircraft engine market and, having gained good experience in operating products in the domestic market, offer them for export.
Remizov notes that the creation of a new gas turbine engine from scratch takes about 10 years. At the same time, some countries are working to shorten the development cycle to 5-7 years. There are different requirements for such power plants - depending on the scope of use. The cost of the units is very high.
The requirements for different segments are quite different. Gas turbine engine building, since this technology is common and close in the core, it is a complex, knowledge-intensive and expensive product. Probably, the engine is the most expensive thing that a person makes per unit of weight. $3,200 - 1 kilogram of gas turbine engine, "says Remizov. |
It is also reported that at the Salyut production complex of the United Engine Corporation, a program has been developed and implemented that allows reducing the volume of field tests. With its help, for the first time in engine building, mathematical modeling of self-oscillations of the blades of compressors of gas turbine engines was carried out. The software allows you to get a significant economic effect from reducing the volume of tests and contributes to improving the reliability of the engine.[2]
GTLK entered into an agreement on the supply of 238 Russian aircraft
In September 2024, the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK) and the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) signed an agreement of intent for the supply of 238 domestic aircraft. The document provides for the supply of aircraft of various passenger capacity and range, which will be used by Russian airlines for regional and main traffic. Read more here
Mishustin allocated 283.3 billion rubles for the development of the aviation industry
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving the allocation of 283.3 billion rubles from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) for the development of the Russian aviation industry. The corresponding document was published in mid-January 2024.
These funds will be provided to the state corporation Rostec, which will issue bonds for 15 years at a preferential rate of 1.5% per annum. The money will be used to modernize factories, create logistics centers, produce components for aircraft (VS), purchase software, specified in government order No. 7-r of January 13, 2024, also published on the Cabinet website.
The implementation of the investment project will ensure the production and production of more than 600 aircraft for Russian airlines until 2030. In particular, it is planned to transfer 142 SSJ-New aircraft, 270 MS-21-310 airliners, 70 Il-114-300 aircraft, 115 Tu-214 aircraft and 12 Il-96-300 aircraft to domestic air carriers.
The government believes that state support for this project will expand the production of domestic aircraft, ensure the country's transport independence and create a full-fledged system of after-sales services for aircraft.
Under the conditions of sanctions, its own modern air fleet is essential for the connectivity of the regions of our large country, - said Mikhail Mishustin at a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers on January 15, 2024. |
The volume of "domestic and export markets" until 2040 is estimated by the authorities at 1869 aircraft, the amount of capital investments required for the investment project is 1 trillion rubles. In particular, bank financing is expected in the amount of 380.9 billion rubles, own funds of the investment project participants (in the amount of depreciation formed as part of the implementation) - 122.8 billion rubles, budget funds - 215.6 billion rubles.

2023
Russia produces 100 aircraft a year
The State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK) at the end of December 2023 named the volume of production capacities for the production of aircraft in Russia. Excerpts from the company's materials are quoted by RIA Novosti.
Today, the aviation factory capacity of Russia allows the production of about 100 aircraft of various types and modifications, including the military, per year. In the future, during the implementation of the import substitution program, the production base will develop and the volume of aircraft production will grow from year to year, - said in the analytical report of GTLK, published at the end of December 2023. |
At the same time, in March 2023, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, during his report to the State Duma, said that the Russian aviation industry would reach the annual production level of more than 100 aircraft from 2026. Then the chairman of the government noted that the industry had already received appropriate funding.
According to Mishustin, the main task by 2023 remains to maintain the accumulated pace of development of the aviation industry, including the modernization of production lines. The prime minister did not specify the details of the plans for the production of aircraft, that is, which models will be included in this hundred aircraft and in what quantity.
In November 2023, the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Dmitry Yadrov said that the passenger fleet of aircraft in Russia is 1,167 units. Rosaviatsia issued 617 airworthiness certificates in relation to a foreign fleet. 225 aircraft have only Russian registration, he noted then during a working meeting with Mikhail Mishustin.
After the start of the military operation on To Ukraine USA EU and closed the airspace for Russian aircraft, banned the supply of aviation equipment and spare parts Russia in and imposed restrictions on their maintenance. []Ошибка цитирования Неверный вызов: нет входных данных
The Ministry of Industry and Trade announced the allocation of 108 billion rubles for the aircraft industry
107.9 billion rubles will be spent on aircraft production and comprehensive support for the aviation industry in 2024-2026. in Russia. Anna Panina, director of the aviation industry department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, announced this at the end of October 2023 during a hearing in the Federation Council. We are talking about the state program "Development of the aviation industry," which was approved back in 2014 and was extended until 2030.
The task was set to achieve by 2030 in the fleet of the largest air carriers the share of aircraft and helicopters produced in Russia, at least 50% and 90%, respectively, - said Panina. |
According to her, by 2026 it is planned to increase the production of Russian aircraft, including MS-21, Sukhoi Superjet, Tu-214, small aircraft LMS-901 Baikal. The main emphasis is placed on import substitution of the main units and units, added the director of the aviation industry department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
At the end of August 2023, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced new solutions to support the domestic aircraft industry. In particular, to expand the production of promising medium-haul liners, the rules for providing subsidies from the federal budget will MS-21 change. This will enable aircraft manufacturers to receive only about 20 billion rubles for technical re-equipment.
Also, for 2023, the program of subsidizing interest rates on loans that companies attract to buy Russian aircraft has been extended. In addition, in accordance with the decision of the government, the formation of a reserve of components and equipment will be simplified: the volume of part stocks will be determined based on the total cost of technical property necessary to maintain airworthiness.[3]
China and Russia have created a fund for 100 billion rubles in civil aviation projects
October 17, 2023 Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) announced the creation of a joint Fund for the Development of the Civil Aviation Industry with Chinese partners with a volume of 100 billion rubles for investment in aviation enterprises and. RUSSIAN FEDERATION The statement came PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA amid the president's visit to Russia Vladimir Putin Beijing. More. here
The Ministry of Industry and Trade will spend 750 million rubles on full import substitution of engines for Sukhoi SuperJet aircraft and Ka-62 helicopters
The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation will spend almost 750 million rubles on full import substitution of engines for Sukhoi SuperJet aircraft and Ka-62 helicopters. This was announced on April 18, 2023 by the Mash Telegram channel.
As indicated in the publication, earlier Russian civilian helicopters and aircraft flew on the French PowerJet SaM146 and Turbomeca engines, but problems arose with them due to sanctions. Therefore, it was decided to finalize domestic PD-8 and VK-1600 engines.
The tender for the development of analogues of foreign components was completed in April 2023. Which company won it is unknown. Only the terms of sale and the price of the contract are publicly available. It is necessary to cope with the task until 2025, for which the company will receive 747 750 000 rubles, Mash reports.
In 2022, the Vedomosti newspaper wrote that the SSJ100 is about 70% made up of imported components. Salon SSJ100 was developed by the Italian design bureau Pininfarina. The French concern Safran supplied about 28% of components - 25% accounted for the engine, 3% - for chassis, avionics and other components. The Sam146 engines were supplied by a joint venture between Safran and the United Engine Corporation (UEC, part of Rostec) PowerJet. They were produced at the UEC-Saturn site in Rybinsk. Instead of SaM146, it was planned to install a Russian PD-8 engine developed by UEC on a modified version.
According to Oleg Panteleev, director of the Aviaport industry agency, a large number of components that the Russian industry already produces will have to be adapted for SSJ-New. The problem of "legal legalization" of these components and their compliance with civil aviation standards can prevent the aircraft from taking off, the source warned. HSE expert Fedor Borisov noted that serial launch of the aircraft will require "organizing production or alternative channels for all components."[4]
Mishustin allocated 5 billion rubles for the production of aircraft and engines for them
At the end of February 2023, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order, which allocated 5 billion rubles to expand the production of aircraft, aircraft engines, devices and units. These funds are planned to be spent during 2023.
According to the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers, federal funding will compensate up to 50% of the costs of airlines to repay loans that are attracted in order to accelerate the production of equipment and to create a system of its after-sales service.
By the same order, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Ministry of Finance were instructed to provide the necessary funds for such purposes during the formation of the draft federal budget annually, until 2036. The total amount of support will exceed 376 billion rubles.
Speaking about this decision at a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers on February 27, 2023, Mikhail Mishustin stressed that airlines should not face difficulties in operating domestic aircraft.
It is important to form spare parts funds, think over their logistics in detail, improve the procedures for technical maintenance and repair, - said the head of the Cabinet, instructing the Ministry of Industry and Trade to keep this issue under constant control. |
He added that in the next 14 years, the amount of financial support for the aviation industry may exceed 376 billion rubles. Such assistance will help the company compensate for the cost of repaying loans and interest on them in order to speed up the production of equipment.
On February 17, 2023, the Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Environmental Protection, Ecology and Transport, Sergei Ivanov, announced that Russia would enter mass production of aircraft for civil aviation in a few years.[5]
2022
Increase in civilian helicopter production by 70% to 185 units
In 2022, 185 civilian helicopters were produced in Russia, which is 1.7 times more than a year ago (108 pieces). This was reported in February 2023 in Rosstat.
As the representative of Rosstat told Vedomosti, the data "are formed on the basis of the reporting of airlines." Similar figures for the production of helicopters for 2022 are given in the presentation of the State Transport Leasing Company (GTLK) "The state of key segments of the transport complex of Russia by the end of 2022," the newspaper notes.
On February 18, 2023, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov said that in 2022 the Russian Helicopters holding produced about 150-160 helicopters of all kinds, and about 300 vehicles are expected to be produced in 2023.
Various: Ka-52, Mi-28, Mi-35, Ansaty. Now we are slowly starting to unwind, - he said in the program "Military Acceptance" of the TV channel "Star Plus," which was released on February 18, 2023. |
The growth in the production of civilian helicopters in 2022 could be achieved by increasing the supply of Kazan Helicopter Plant (KVZ), which is part of Russian Helicopters, for the needs of air ambulance and the Ulan-Ude aircraft plant as part of export contracts, Mikhail Barabanov, an expert at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, told the newspaper. Probably, the figure recorded by Rosstat also includes "a certain number" of helicopters produced for the needs of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, he confirms.
Alexander Kalachev, deputy chairman of the board of the Helicopter Industry Association (AVI), believes that the growth in helicopter production was mainly ensured by export contracts.
It cannot be said that in 2022 the domestic demand for civilian helicopters from the operators was sharply indicated, "he said.[6] |
The development of the Russian PD-35 aircraft engine for civilian aircraft was postponed for a couple of years. Investment in the project is estimated at $3 billion
The timing of the development of the engine for civil aviation is PD-35 shifting a couple of years ahead. This was announced in early December by Alexander Inozemtsev, Deputy General Director of United Engine Corporation JSC for the management of the Perm Motors research and production complex, Managing Director - General Designer of UEC-Aviadvigatel JSC.

Mishustin allocated 44 billion rubles for the production of aircraft engines
In November 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving the allocation of another 44 billion rubles to subsidize the production of aircraft engines. This money will be received by the United Engine Corporation.
The signed document expands state support for projects for the production and production of aircraft engines for the entire line of domestic civilian and military transport aircraft. Thus, the program includes projects to expand the production of PD-14 engines (for MS-21 aircraft), PS-90A (for medium-haul Tu-214), PD-8 (for Sukhoi Superjet aircraft), TV7-117ST-01 (for Il-114-300).
With the help of state support, manufacturers will purchase the necessary equipment, install and install it, as well as commissioning, manufacture equipment to expand the serial production of these engines.
The decision will ensure the implementation of a comprehensive program for the development of the air transport industry in terms of the production and production of domestic aircraft engines. In particular, within two years it is planned to produce about fifty PD-8 engines, as well as twenty PS-90A and fourteen PD-14. At the same time, research work on the creation of a high-thrust PD-35 engine should be carried out. It is planned to complete the development and creation of a prototype of this unique power plant by the end of 2024.
On September 21, 2022, the President Vladimir Putin Russia of the Russian Federation announced that, thanks to the sanctions, he would herself produce engines for civil aviation. In response to the military operation, he Russia To Ukraine European Union imposed sanctions on the Russian aviation industry, which deprived Russian airlines of the opportunity to use European aircraft. New deliveries, as well as maintenance and insurance of all aircraft were prohibited, and aircraft already leased under old contracts had to be returned to the lessor within a month.[7]
The government approved a program for the development of the aviation industry for 770 billion rubles
At the end of June 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a comprehensive program for the development of the air transport industry until 2030. According to the press service of the Cabinet, against the background of external restrictions, the strategic task in this sector will be an accelerated transition to domestic equipment.
The total funding of the program will exceed 770 billion rubles. At the same time, over 150 billion of them, necessary to ensure air transportation, will enter the industry by the end of 2022.
As Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov said at a meeting with Deputy Prime Ministers at the end of June 2022, mass production of Superjet New aircraft will begin in 2023, which will be equipped with Russian PD-8 engines, airborne electronic equipment and systems. According to him, the Government of the Russian Federation expects that foreign aircraft flying at medium and long distances will be replaced by domestic MS-21 and Tu-214. According to the government plan, the first six production aircraft will MS-21 arrive in 2024, and starting in 2029, it is planned to produce 72 MS-21 aircraft per year. By 2030, it is also planned to produce 70 TU-214 aircraft.
In addition, it is planned to release and supply airlines with more than 760 helicopters. It is assumed that the emphasis will be placed on the production of Ansat and Mi-8 machines in various modifications, since they are most in demand on the market.
A separate block of the program is dedicated to the production of aircraft engines for the entire line of civilian aircraft. The combined engine company is already developing, modernizing and increasing their production in the required volume. In total, until 2030, the production of almost 5 thousand engines for aircraft and helicopters is envisaged.[8]
Rosaviatsia allowed Russian companies to produce spare parts for Airbus and Boeing aircraft
As it became known in early June 2022, the Federal Air Transport Agency allowed Russian companies to produce spare parts for Airbus and Boeing aircraft . According to Vedomosti, we are talking about certificates of the aircraft developer in terms of its modification, certification of secondary changes and the release of technical documentation, including the approval of repair documentation and its changes.
Among those who received certificates are the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation, S7 Technics (part of the S7 group ), the Ural Civil Aviation Plant, Aviation Engineering Solutions and the Navigator Institute of Aviation Instrumentation. In addition, applications for certification were submitted by Volga-Dnepr Engineering, UTair Engineering, Aviagrand, A-Technics of Aeroflot Group and Aviainterkom.
Previously, these companies could only be engaged in the production of interior parts of salons, passenger seats or kitchen equipment. However, S7 Technics also received permission to develop component modifications and repair schemes.
The publication notes that while (by the beginning of June 2022) Russian companies are preparing to produce mainly interior figures, chairs or kitchen equipment.
On May 22, 2022, Bloomberg reported that Aeroflot would begin disassembling its airliners for parts due to their shortage in order to maintain a fleet of aircraft in working order. The vast majority of the group's more than 350 aircraft are Airbus or Boeing models and face an impending shortage of parts, according to the agency.
According to Victor Gorbachev, general director of the Airport Civil Aviation Association, Russia cannot legally produce parts for Airbus and Boeing, since this requires a license from the manufacturer.
If they recall aircraft that are leased, if neither spare parts nor materials are supplied to us anymore, then for Russian factories to be allowed to produce spare parts, this is some nonsense, Gorbachev said.[9] |
Mishustin allocated 1.8 billion rubles for the creation of domestic aircraft
At the end of January 2022, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed several orders on additional funding for the development of the aviation industry. We are talking about the allocation of 1.8 billion rubles, of which more than 1.6 billion rubles will be received by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).
Of this amount, 1 billion rubles will cover the cost of creating a wide-body long-range aircraft. At the same time, 616 million rubles provided for the UAC will be allocated for the revision of the regional liner Il-114 - work on its modernization is being carried out within the framework of the state program. Another 175.8 million rubles will be directed to the development of the TV7-117 engine, the press service of the Cabinet of Ministers specified. Mikhail Mishustin called for effective spending of public investment.
The best assessment of such work will be contracts signed with air carriers for the supply of Russian aircraft, the prime minister said. |
He called the development of production facilities for the construction of the entire line of modern and competitive aircraft an exceptional state priority, because only with their help will it be possible to connect the territories of a large country.
On January 20, 2022, during a working trip to Voronezh, Mishustin instructed the relevant ministries to prepare proposals for new state support measures that would help update the aircraft fleets of domestic airlines. He also set the task of ensuring technological independence from foreign components in the aircraft industry. According to the head of the Cabinet, the government expects to increase the share of Russian aircraft in the fleet of the country's largest companies to 30% over the next nine years.
According to the plans of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, state corporations and air carriers from the National Welfare Fund will receive 279 billion rubles in the form of preferential loans at 2.5% for the purchase of domestic equipment.[10]
2021: Ministry of Industry and Trade allocates 1.8 trillion rubles for the production of 735 new civilian aircraft
On July 12, 2021, it became known about the plan developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade for the production of Russian aviation equipment. We are talking about the creation of 735 civilian aircraft, in particular the Il-114, MS-21 and Baikal, as well as five types of helicopters. The implementation of this project in the department is estimated at 1.8 trillion rubles. Most of this amount (about 1.6 trillion rubles) will fall on the National Welfare Fund.
As Kommersant writes with reference to the relevant document of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, 9.4 billion rubles for the implementation of the plan may arrive in 2021, another 537.9 billion rubles - until 2024, more than 1trln rubles - from 2025 to 2030. According to the results of the implementation of the plan developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the loading of the civilian segment of aircraft industry enterprises should reach 80-90%.
Experts interviewed by the newspaper consider both the financial component of the project and its schedule to be "overly ambitious transport HSE." According to Andrei Kramarenko, a senior researcher at the Institute of Economics, by mid-2021, production capabilities "Irkutsk" allow the production of 36 aircraft per year, but the launch of the second stage will take time and should be justified by stable demand.
According to him , the domestic market is unlikely to "digest" more than 30-35 aircraft of this size and type per year, because "before the coronavirus crisis (COVID-19), the volume of deliveries to the domestic market of medium-haul aircraft was 50-70 cars per year, including Airbus and Boeing." He believes that, having now received many new domestic aircraft, airlines will not soon come to the need to expand or renew the fleet. The expert added that entry into foreign markets will be seriously complicated by the oversupply of aircraft due to the crisis and active dumping by Boeing, which is forced to restore its order book after problems with the 737 MAX. According to Kramarenko, only countries such as North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Belarus can become interested in MS-21 .[11] alone]
2020: Russia reduced aircraft supplies to the domestic market and abroad by 18%
At the end of 2020, Russia reduced the supply of aircraft to the domestic market and abroad by 18% compared to 2019 - from 73 to 60 cars. Such data at the end of September 2021 led to the Accounts Chamber (JV).
According to statistics from the control department, deliveries of helicopters to domestic and foreign markets in 2020 reached 141 units against 153 a year earlier. The fall of the aviation industry in the Russian Federation in the Accounts Chamber was associated with the consequences of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, as well as the following additional factors:
- sanctions regime caused by the introduction of additional sanctions by the United States;
- limited financial capabilities of foreign commercial operators in purchasing helicopter and aircraft equipment, which influenced the decrease in the volume of purchases of civilian and military helicopters, as well as military aircraft in the foreign market.
In addition, the negative impact on the implementation of the state program for the development of the aircraft industry was "the detection of TV7-117V defects on the engine, the adjustment of the delivery time of the power plant TV7-117ST-01 due to the delay in work on the Il-112V aircraft and the complex of tests necessary for the manufacture of the power plant TV7-117ST-01 for certification tests," the SP reported.
The materials also say that the supply of military and civilian aircraft engines in 2020 decreased by almost 6% to 791 units. According to the results of this 12-month period, customers received five small aircraft (L-410 aircraft) against seven a year earlier. The share of Russian-made aircraft in the fleet of the largest Russian air carriers increased to 10.2% against 9% in 2019, the share of helicopters - to 93.5% against 90.3%. At the same time, the share of deliveries of Russian aircraft in the global civil aviation market was 1%, and in the global production of helicopters - 10%.[12]
