Cut off from purchasing Western aircraft, Russia is now doubling down on reviving its domestic airliner industry. Among the aircraft that it plans to produce is the Tupolev Tu-204 (now Tu-214) – a medium-range narrow-body jet airliner first introduced in 1989 as the Soviet Union collapsed. Now, with upgrades and improvements, there are plans to produce dozens of them by 2030. The first Tu-214s were meant to be delivered in 2024, but that is likely to be delayed.
