Russian airlines will begin to receive the domestic import-substituted MC-21-310 aircraft with PD-14 engines in November 2026. This was reported by the publication "Tekhnosfera Rossiya."
The authors of the material noted that the improvement of the power plant is a routine process that accompanies the testing process of any aircraft engine.
