190 out of 270 flights have already been completed, and we are moving towards completing these activities in the first quarter of next year.

The Il-114-300 will be equipped with a TV7-117ST-01 engine. The 3100 hp power plant will ensure the operation of aircraft even in the conditions of the North.
