Rosaviatsia Approves All‑Domestic Tu‑214 Design, Clearing the Way for Serial Production

The approval advances Russia's import‑substitution push toward domestically equipped commercial jets.

Overview

  • The Tu‑214 received a certificate in Kazan for a major design change replacing imported systems with a new Russian avionics suite and homegrown collision and terrain‑warning systems.
  • Officials said phased serial production is planned to start after final modifications by 2026 with output targeted to reach up to 20 aircraft a year by the end of 2027.
  • United Aircraft Corporation stated the Tu‑214 is the first import‑substituted civilian airliner approved by Russian aviation authorities.
  • The government will extend discounted helicopter leasing, and the Kazan Helicopter Plant is slated for at least 70 new orders over the next three years to support regional connectivity.
  • More than 50 helicopters were delivered to carriers in 2025 through a GTLK program financed with National Wealth Fund resources, as federal measures also focus on sales support, factory upgrades, after‑sales service and training.
