Plans also include expanding hangar space, taking into account the fleet expansion with the arrival of domestic MC-21s. We are planning to build up to four additional hangars, which will allow us to simultaneously service up to 10 MC-21 aircraft.

Aeroflot has more than 33,000 square meters of hangar space, which allows it to simultaneously service three wide-body aircraft and 18 narrow-body aircraft. With the arrival of a large number of MC-21s in the airline's fleet, there was a need to increase hangar space adapted specifically for this type of aircraft.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that Aeroflot plans to receive more than 100 MC-21 aircraft.
