The new Il-114-30 aircraft will be certified in the first quarter of 2026, according to Dmitry Yadrov, head of Rosaviatsiya.
190 flights out of 270 have already been completed, and we are moving towards completing these activities in the first quarter of next year.
The Il-114-30 is a modernized version of the Il-114 turboprop. The aircraft was created to replace the outdated An-24 models on domestic airlines, as well as foreign counterparts ATR72 and Bombardier Dash 8.
The Il-114-30 is assembled from Russian-made components and equipped with domestic systems and equipment. It is designed for 68 passengers, and the maximum flight altitude is 7.6 thousand meters.
The Il-114-300 will be equipped with a TV7-117ST-01 engine. The power plant with a capacity of 3100 hp will ensure the operation of aircraft even in the conditions of the North.
