The Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Rosaviatsiya are discussing the parameters of a possible deal for Tu-214 aircraft with the Russian airline S7. This was announced by the head of Rosaviatsiya, Dmitry Yadrov.
According to him, S7 Airlines is showing great interest in Tu-214 aircraft — we are talking about approximately 100 aircraft. The negotiations include key terms of the deal: the amount of the lease payment, the actual intensity of aircraft operation, and approaches to after-sales service. Yadrov emphasized that agreeing on all these parameters requires time and careful study.
Specific details may be announced in February at the NAIS exhibition.
In September 2024, the press service of the head of Tatarstan announced the signing of a memorandum between the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) and S7 Airlines. The document envisages joint work on the supply of 100 advanced Tu-214 passenger aircraft to expand the carrier's fleet.
