Ulyanovsk Aircraft Plant «Aviastar» (a branch of PJSC «Il» – Aviastar) plans to produce up to 16-18 aircraft per year by 2027. The governor of the Ulyanovsk region, Alexey Russkikh, spoke about this during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. According to him, everything is being done for this now.
According to the governor, in 2023 «Aviastar» produced a record number of aircraft — six. In total, the plant handed over to the customer 21 Il-76MD-90A/Il-78M-90A aircraft, including 18 production ones, Russkikh added. This year «Aviastar» is going to produce eight aircraft, and then — increase output.
Alexei Russkikh also said that the plant is creating a production line for assembling fuselage panels for the newest regional short-haul aircraft Il-114-300. It will allow us to enter serial production of aircraft kits: in April we wrote that the plant’s plans — production of 12 aircraft kits per year. It is planned to install equipment for automatic riveting, painting, sealing and drying chambers in the production line.
