Get ready for a run on duct tape. The price will double do to the Russian demand.
I wonder who besides Russia will buy them....
look over history to see airlines who seek russian equipment. Besides Cubana airlines, who else comes to mind?
The economic powerhouse that is North Korea?
Absolutely nowhere near the volumes needed to support a manufacturer exist for the TU-214 unless very highly subsidized by the government. The announcement is for internal Russian political consumption aimed at the masses.
ten domestic industry airliners per year in Russia is a small joke if solving the lack of airworthy jetliners is what the russians are trying to do. From the sidelines we will watch and chuckle at this miniscule move. Russian engines and avionics and airframes may not combine into a viable substitute for airbus/boeing equipment standing useless on russian tarmacs.
Those will be useful for Ukraine International Airline.
