The assembly of IL-96-300 airliners is reaching the planned level, and the serial production of MS-21 is postponed for 2 years
At the Voronezh Aviation Plant, which is a branch of PJSC Il, the work on assembling the fuselage of the next domestic airliner Il-96-300 has been fully completed.
It is noteworthy that all volumes of the pile assembly were completed in just 3 months. This was the shortest cycle in recent years.
By the end of this month, off-site work on the fuselage will have to be completed. Then the future liner will go to the final assembly shop.
According to the plan, units for the assembly of another Il-96-300 should arrive at the Voronezh plant this year. This means that aircraft manufacturers have reached the planned production volume of the above-mentioned wide-body passenger airliners of 2 units per year.
In accordance with the comprehensive development program for the aviation industry, 2030 units of the Il-12-96 aircraft should be assembled at the Voronezh Aviation Plant by 300.
At the same time, the head of the Rostec state corporation, Sergei Chemezov, announced that the serial production of domestic MS-21 airliners has been postponed for 2 years. This is due to the fact that all necessary safety tests of the aircraft have not yet been completed.
In turn, the press service of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation noted that delays in the supply of the narrow-body medium-haul MS-21 and short-haul SJ-100 should not affect the planned production volume of 600 civilian airliners by 2030.
The department added that at the moment 16 updated Superjets and 12 MS-21 are in varying degrees of readiness.
