Sergey Chemezov, head of Rostech Company interview with the eloquent title “Economics for the navy – in tenth place” not solely acknowledged that the financial state of affairs of the Russian Federation is similar as earlier than the collapse of the Soviet Union, but additionally recognized one other drawback – from round 2030. The most important civil aviation issues will start within the Russian Federation.
“I believe that from 2030 there shall be a noticeable withdrawal of overseas planes from Russian airways – as a result of there won’t be many alternatives to restore them,” mentioned S. Chemezov in an interview with the Russian media supply “RBK”.
It needs to be famous that Boeing and Airbus withdrew from the Russian market. As well as, Russian planes are banned from flying to the US and Europe. All this led to the truth that about 550 Western planes remained with out spare components, which, though formally, is about 65 p.c. of all Russian passenger planes, however these planes carry out 95 p.c of of all flights.
in 2023 As of March, there have been about 470 Boeing and Airbus plane in service. Newer statistics couldn’t be discovered, however the pattern is sort of clear, Protection Categorical writes.
Thus, S. Chemezov provided a means out of this example: “By that point, it is going to be vital to supply a adequate quantity of various plane. Initially, after all, these are MS-21, Superjet, Tu-214, Il-114, Il-96. These civilian plane ought to provide all our airways.”
Which means that inside six years, the Russian Federation ought to produce about half a thousand liners – this can be a actually unrealistic state of affairs. On the identical time, S. Chemezov himself is effectively conscious of this, as a result of in 2023 plane manufacturing facility in Kazan (often known as KAPO) couldn’t full a single Tu-214. As well as, by 2030, even based on the plan, solely 70 of those planes needs to be produced, not all of which shall be passenger liners.
The Il-96, whose first flight came about again in 1988, doesn’t range in amount – no a couple of plane is produced per 12 months. As well as, a complete of solely 33 plane have been assembled throughout all the interval.
As for Superjet, from 2019 after spending greater than 2 billion {dollars}, they nonetheless have not solved the issue of changing the imported meeting components. As with the MS-21, a significant drawback within the PD household of engines. Supply of the MS-21 has been pushed ahead once more, now to 2025-2026, because it nonetheless can not go testing. By the best way, the manufacturing of the aircraft was supposed to begin in 2016.
The Il-114 is the second try to supply the plane, which was developed again within the Soviet Union to switch the An-26. He made his first flight again in 1990. After solely 20 plane have been produced, it turned redundant and was discontinued. Nonetheless, since 2014 mud was blown off the plane, it was determined to put in new “TV7-117” engines and it was given the index “Il-114-300”.
in 2021 because of the crash of the Il-112 navy transport aircraft attributable to an engine fireplace, checks of the Il-114-300 have been suspended and resumed solely in 2024. On the finish of March. On the identical time, the navy “IL-112” is deliberate to be redesigned by changing the “TV7-117” engines with the already talked about “PD-8” engines. Nonetheless, this doesn’t apply to the civilian IL-114.
Which means that the issue of civil aviation within the Russian Federation is complicated and fairly predictable – as a result of there isn’t a steady manufacturing of airliners, however we’re speaking in regards to the manufacturing capability of 1-2 passenger planes per 12 months. For a closed totalitarian nation, decreasing the circulate of overseas passengers isn’t an issue, however for the Russian Federation, the primary and elementary drawback is the supply of home flights, Protection Categorical summarizes.
