The Kazan Aviation Plant (KAZ, part of PJSC "Tupolev" of the Rostec State Corporation) will not resume production of Tu-214 medium-range aircraft. This was stated in an interview with "The First Technical" by Alexander Garnaev, Honored Test Pilot of the Russian Federation, Hero of Russia.
He drew attention to the fact that KAZ has not built a single aircraft since 2022. At the same time, Garnaev specified, the company received more than 40 billion rubles.
Therefore, none of the professionals seriously talk about the state of the so-called Tu-214 revival program!
Aviation expert Roman Gusarov stated to "The First Technical" that the Tupolev Bureau has done too little for the development of the Tu-214 over the past 30 years, so new aircraft should not be expected. Also, industry expert Andrei Velichko noted that all of KAZ's capacity is now occupied by state defense orders, so the release of the Tu-214 will have to wait.
Against this background, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev stated that the S7 airline ordered 100 Tu-214 aircraft from KAZ. It was not possible to get a comment from the carrier about these plans.
