Russian airlines are ready to buy 200 MC-21 aircraft

There is also a high demand for import-substituted SJ-100 aircraft

Deputy Minister of Transport Vladimir Poteshkin on the sidelines of "Innoprom" in Yekaterinburg spoke about the high demand of domestic carriers for new MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft.

According to him, Russian carriers are already ready to conclude contracts for the supply of 200 medium-range MC-21s.

Only our flagship, the Aeroflot Group, expects to receive more than 100 such aircraft by 2030. And there is also demand for a fully import-substituted, short-range SJ-100.

Thanks to the national project, we will modernize at least 75 airports by 2030.
