Russia produce 1000 new aircraft by 2030.

Russia prohibits its pilots from working for foreign airlines.

Russian producers are ready to provide more than 1000 domestically produced aircraft to the nation’s airlines by 2030. Denis Manturov, the country’s minister of trade and industry, declared.

The information was revealed by Manturov in a speech at the Petersburg International Economic Forum, according to the Russian state news agency TASS reports.
“The companies in the aviation industry demonstrated the capability of delivering over a thousand aircraft by 2030 to accommodate the expectations of civil aviation while substituting Russian-produced components for those made abroad and upgrading production where needed,” Manturov said.

142 Sukhoi SSJ New, 270 Irkut MC-21, 70 Il-114-300, 70 Tu-214, and 12 Il-96-300 aircraft will be delivered, according to Manturov. There will be deliveries of an undetermined number of TVRS-4 Ladoga, L-410, and LMS-901 Baikal regional aircraft.

Due to extensive sanctions against Russia, the United States and Europe last year prevented the supply of Airbus and Boeing aircraft to that country as well as any ongoing leasing agreements. They also refused to offer technical maintenance services.

Although the manufacturers have previously published at least part of the statistics Manturov disclosed, they also don’t correspond with the anticipated output levels for the Russian-made engines.

Boeing Faces New Setbacks as 777X Delays Extend and scraps B767-300F

Boeing’s challenges continue as employees halted production due to a strike, creating new obstacles for delivering aircraft to customers. The company now faces financial losses from delays in the delivery of its boeing 777x aircraft.

Boeing recently announced that the new delivery date for the 777-9 will be in 2026, with the freighter variant scheduled for 2028. This news has been frustrating for airlines that have committed to and are waiting for the aircraft.

The Boeing 777X program, which began in early 2019, was initially delayed to 2021 due to COVID-19 disruptions. Subsequent issues, including defects found during testing, have placed the program under scrutiny by the FAA, which insists on the aircraft meeting all safety standards before entering service. Boeing is now facing pressure from both airlines and investors.

Boeing 777x Delay

New Commercial Airplanes expects to incur pre-tax charges of $3.0 billion related to the Boeing 777X and 767 programs.

The company forecasts a $2.6 billion pre-tax charge due to the updated timeline, which accounts for delays in flight testing for the 777-9 and the impact of the IAM (International Association of Machinists) work stoppage. The first 777-9 delivery is now expected in 2026, with the 777-8 freighter following in 2028.

In addition, Boeing plans to conclude production of the 767 freighter, resulting in a $0.4 billion pre-tax charge. From 2027 onwards, the company will solely produce the 767-2C aircraft for the KC-46A Tanker program.

In August 2024, Boeing grounded its 777X test fleet after detecting a failure in a key engine mounting structure during a routine inspection. The new boeing 777x, powered by the GE9X engine, is the world’s largest and most efficient twin-engine jet, but this issue has caused further setbacks.

Comparison of 777x vs A350

Meanwhile, the Airbus A350 continues to secure new orders from airlines, becoming a strong competitor in the wide-body aircraft segment. While the a350 vs b777 offer similar ranges, the 777X is designed to carry a heavier payload.

In other developments, Boeing has hinted at starting production of a new mid-sized aircraft, the Boeing 797, which would likely compete with the Airbus A321 XLR.
