Russia Slashes Airliner Engine Production As Domestic Airliner Production Flounders

Simple Flying has previously reported that Russia has set the target of producing 1,000 passenger aircraft of all types by 2030. However, by the end of 2024, almost three years after the crippling sanctions, Russia has yet to deliver a single passenger aircraft (apart from a handful of Sukhoi Superjets that were completed with stockpiled parts received before the sanctions). With more information emerging about Russia’s civil aviation industry, it is apparent it remains crippled.
