Kazan Aviation Plant (KAZ, part of PJSC \"Tupolev\", Rostec State Corporation) is theoretically capable of reaching a production volume of up to 20 Tu-214 aircraft per year, but the whole question is the timing. This was told to \"First Technical\" by aviation expert, editor-in-chief of Avia.ru portal, Roman Gusarov.
This is how he assessed the information about S7 airline's plans to order 100 Tu-214 aircraft from KAZ at once. This figure was announced by Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
Even if airlines are ready to order 100 Tu-214 aircraft, the question is whether the industry is ready to produce them. We need to face the facts. We have the Tu-204 family, which are essentially different modifications of the same aircraft. In previous years, over three decades, the average production rate was three aircraft per year. In 30 years, they built less than S7 is now ready to order.
The expert recalled that in 2022, KAZ claimed that production allows for the production of up to 20 Tu-214 aircraft annually.
But where will 20 aircraft a year come from? Will the plant increase 20 times? I'm not even talking about machines and personnel. Of course not. Three years have passed since then, how many new Tu-214s have been built? I'll tell you - zero. Theoretically, it is possible to imagine such production volumes, but the question is - when? Rostec allocated investments, construction of new workshops began. I don't know at what stage the construction is at.
So far, the production rate of \"Tushkas\" is not impressive - in 2025, Kazan will produce only one Tu-214, although initially they planned to assemble three.
