Russian Deputy Minister of Transport Vladimir Poteshkin announced that the regional "Baikal" aircraft must fly 100 thousand hours without accidents before entering passenger airlines.
We support the position of "Aerokhimflot" on the use of LMS-901 "Baikal". Before starting to transport passengers, it is desirable that the aircraft fly 100 thousand accident-free hours.
Certification of the "Baikal" aircraft is expected by December 2026, which corresponds to the previously announced dates. The initial use of new aircraft for aviation work will allow identifying operational features without risks to passengers and improving the design.
The meeting also discussed other promising projects. The start of testing of the TVRS-44 "Ladoga" is scheduled for the IV quarter of 2026, and certification is expected in 2029. The light aircraft "Osvey" should be certified in 2027-2029.
In early 2026, it is planned to complete the certification of the Il-114-300 and the import-substituted version of the SJ-100, after which their serial deliveries will begin.
At the same time, the Comprehensive Program for the Development of the Aviation Industry (KPGА), approved in 2024, had more ambitious plans for the production of aviation equipment. Adjustments to the program are expected in 2025, taking into account the plans and capabilities of airlines.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the "Baikal" is rising into the sky, the VK-800 engine will be brought to readiness.
