Russian Minister of Industry and Trade Anton Alikhanov stated that the production rate of Il-76 aircraft at the Ulyanovsk aircraft plant will reach seven aircraft per year in 2025. By 2027, production is planned to increase to 12 aircraft, and in the future, to 18.
The minister emphasized that the company has done significant work over the past four years, allowing it to reach a stable assembly rate.
Currently, according to him, the key task is to eliminate bottlenecks and modernize equipment, using both domestic, including Ulyanovsk-made, and imported solutions from friendly countries. This will ensure further production growth.
Expansion of capacities may be considered in three years, given the high export potential of the Il-76MD-90A, which, as Alikhanov noted, have no analogues and remain competitive in price.
