Didn't wait for Tu-214: Russia decided to repair 35-year-old Boeing 767s

AZUR Air applied for certificate expansion for aircraft engine maintenance

AZUR Air applied to Rosaviatsia for an expansion of its maintenance certificate for American Boeing 767 engines. This refers to General Electric CF6-80C2 and Pratt & Whitney PW4000-94 powerplants.

If approved, AZUR Air will be authorized to perform periodic engine maintenance, implement service modifications, remove and install units, and service their components.

As of 2026, AZUR Air's active fleet includes 6 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft. All of them were manufactured between 1991 and 1999.

In February 2026, the company's CEO, Evgeny Korolev, noted that AZUR Air wanted to purchase about 10 new Tu-214 and Tu-204 aircraft. They are being built at the Kazan Aircraft Plant, which has not yet reached a production rate of more than one aircraft per year.
