At the NAIS 2026 exhibition currently taking place in Moscow, the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) may have unveiled an updated version of the Comprehensive Program for the Development of Russia's Air Transport Industry (KPGA). Compared with the current version of the document approved earlier, the plans for the production and delivery of new domestically manufactured aircraft have undergone noticeable changes: the total volume has been reduced by 5%, or 50 units (from 994 to 944 aircraft), while the planning horizon has been extended by an additional five-year period.
The adjustments affected forecasts for individual aircraft models. In particular, output volumes for the Russian-Belarusian LMS-192 "Osvey" light multirole aircraft intended for local air routes were reduced by 5.5 times — from 158 to 28 units. Likewise, plans for the TVRS-44 "Ladoga" turboprop regional aircraft were cut in half (from 105 to 50 airframes). For the MS-21 narrow-body airliner expectations were lowered by six aircraft, and for the light Baikal multirole aircraft — by one unit.
At the same time, the addition of an extra five-year period to the program made it possible to increase plans for some other aircraft types. Thus, production of the Il-114-300 regional turboprop increased by 82% (from 51 to 93 units), the Il-96-300 wide-body aircraft by 64% (from 14 to 23), the Tu-214 narrow-body airliner by 44% (from 115 to 166), and the import-substituted version of the Superjet — SSJ-NEW — by 28% (from 142 to 182 airframes).
It should be recalled that at the end of November 2025, at the international Dubai Airshow exhibition, First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov told journalists that the government intended to publish an updated KPGA only after certification of import-substituted modifications of key Russian civil aircraft had been completed, including the MS-21, SJ-100, and Il-114.
