In an interview, the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov touched upon the topic of domestic airplanes. In particular, the Minist told that a version of the MS-21 airliner with a larger capacity might appear in Russia (at the moment, it is 163 - 211 people).

"Currently, I stress, all efforts are concentrated specifically on the creation of a completely import-independent version of the MS-21-310 aircraft. First of all, we solve the problem of national security and technological sovereignty in the strategic direction of civil aviation, but the economy has not been canceled. Therefore, the development of various options for the development of the MS-21 family in the future, of course, is also underway. The work that is being done on the wide-body aircraft has a planning horizon after 2030. I think it's necessary to develop several modifications based on the MS-21, including a version for 220-250 passengers", - said Denis Manturov.
