According to a source, the reorganization is aimed at optimizing management expenses. UAC plans to "remove" duplicate management structures that "hung" over production enterprises.

The reduction may affect several hundred employees. As a result, managing directors on the ground will be freer in making decisions.

The publication Business Online clarified that the endowment of factories with the status of legal entities and their further independence is not yet under discussion — they will remain a production unit and branches.

In December 2025, the news about this coincided with the news about the decision of the head of Tatarstan, Rustem Minnikhanov to leave the post of chairman of the board of directors of PJSC Tupolev. Sources in the aviation industry do not rule out that he will join the board of directors of UAC.
