Reshetnikov added that work has begun with the growing warehouse logistics sector. There are large reserves for operational changes here - unnecessary handling of goods, manual sorting and lack of automation.

Meanwhile, specialists from PJSC "Yakovlev" have already begun a series of MC-21 tests in harsh climatic conditions in northern Russia. Crews simulate various approach scenarios and conflict situations.
