The Arbitration Court of Moscow refused the Ministry of Industry and Trade to recover 179 million rubles from the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). The department filed a lawsuit against the key aircraft building unit in June 2025.
PJSC "Aviation Complex named after S. V. Ilyushin" and Rosimushchestvo were involved in the dispute as third parties.
In December, the court granted the UAC's request to consider the case behind closed doors, since the dispute between the parties is related to the implementation of the state defense order.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade also filed two more lawsuits against the UAC — to recover more than 648 million rubles of fine (the court rejected it in February) and to recover over 205 million rubles. The third lawsuit has not yet been considered.
Russia is preparing for certification of import-substituted versions of the MC-21 and SJ-100 aircraft. All procedures, as the Ministry of Industry and Trade has promised many times, will be completed by the end of 2026.
Economist Dmitry Tortev stated that the key "brake" for the Russian aviation industry was not the lack of technology, but a complex certification system.
Last week it became known that the State Transport Leasing Company completed 2025 with a net loss of 6 billion rubles, although in 2024 the company recorded a profit of 2.4 billion rubles. GTLK is the main operator for the supply of MC-21-310, SJ-100, Tu-214 and Il-114-300.
