Residents of Kazan noticed a Tu-214 aircraft flying in circles over the city on July 30. The video went viral in local public groups. The video was taken in the Aviastroitelny district.
The footage shows a passenger plane, likely a modernized Tu-214. However, it can be assumed that the video captured the testing of a new passenger aircraft.
Tu-214 aircraft are built at the Kazan Aviation Plant (KAZ, part of UAC).
Former CEO of the corporation, Yuri Slyusar, stated that it is planned to build 115 Tu-214 aircraft at KAZ by 2030, allocating 92 billion rubles for this purpose over the next two years.
According to him, KAZ should first start producing 10 passenger aircraft per year, then 20.
Earlier www1.ru reported that "Ilyushin" announced the official characteristics of the serial Il-114-300.
