From January to June 2024, they sent another batch of units to Lukhovitsy (Moscow region), where the assembly and testing of the aircraft takes place, as reported by the corporation's press service.
"Sokol" began to develop the production of Il-114-300 in 2017. At the end of 2019, a new production line appeared in the assembly shop. The plant management purchased the necessary equipment, and the employees manufactured and installed the tooling.
