Sources of preferential financing for the delivery of the first batch of Il-114-300 for the Far East have been identified. This was reported by the press service of Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Trutnev.
The signing of the first firm contracts for the delivery of Il-114-300 is expected in the near future.
At the moment, sources of preferential financing for the delivery of the first batch for the Far East have been identified.
Deputy Head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Gennady Abramenkov added that airlines are already forming demand for the liners.
The market needs a modern regional aircraft, and the Il-114-300 should meet this need... We see the task of providing carriers with the necessary volume of aircraft and preventing a gap between market demand and production capabilities.
Recall that the Il-114-300 received a type certificate and can be mass-produced. However, some airlines raised questions about its effectiveness on unpaved runways due to the too low position of the TV7-117ST-01 turboprop engines.
GTLK stated that at least 40 Il-114-300s will be supplied to Aurora, KrasAvia, and IrAero airlines.
