MC-21 aircraft assembly may be established in Latin America

UAC Head Badeha stated that foreign customers want to localize production

The civilian division of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) may be prepared for an IPO within three to five years. To this end, the corporation intends to make its business as transparent and efficient as possible, according to the company's head, Vadim Badeha.

According to him, negotiations are already underway to localize the production of Russian aircraft abroad, including in Latin America and India. The key condition for export is the accumulation of operational experience within the country.

Moreover, I will say that all serious large countries strive to obtain one level or another of localization, and this is becoming one of the trends in international cooperation in the field of aviation, including military-technical cooperation. We believe that this will expand sales markets.
Vadim Badeha, Head of UAC
