A major financial scandal has erupted around the Tu-214 passenger airliner production program at the Kazan Aircraft Plant. This was reported by the "Business Online" publication.
The contracting company "Sarmat", which was supposed to perform work in the final assembly shop of Tu-214 aircraft, has entered bankruptcy proceedings.
Tax authorities are demanding about 513 million rubles from the company. In parallel, PAO "Tupolev" is trying to recover another 110 million rubles from the contractor for work not completed on time.
The Arbitration Court of Moscow introduced bankruptcy proceedings against OOO "Sarmat" on April 26, 2026.
Rostec stated that the Tu-214 still needs to be "brought to perfection" after design changes.
There is an opinion in the industry that the aircraft has remained in the same condition as it was 30 years ago, unlike its competitors Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
