The Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Rogozin, said that the country was fully prepared to provide import substitution in the aircraft industry.

At the moment, according to the aviation portal Avia.pro, domestic air carriers use only about 20% of Soviet and Russian-made aircraft, and the remaining 80% are foreign-made aircraft, which of course leads to the fact that airlines are suffering losses due to instability of the ruble exchange rate and growing lease payments. At present, the situation has already begun to change - Russian air operators are seriously concerned about the issue of purchasing domestic passenger aircraft instead of foreign airliners, since with practically equivalent flight performance characteristics, Russian aircraft are easier to maintain and relatively cheaper in terms of acquisition.

Commissioned as early as next year Yak-242 (MS-21)planned for mass release IL-114 And now existing SJS-100 should help Russian airlines increase their potential and increase their profits. In addition, it is expected that domestic airliners will be of interest to carriers of other countries, which in turn will expand the scope of domestic aircraft manufacturing.
