Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Saveliev said on November 19 that there are no problems in aircraft maintenance in Russia, as the country provides itself with components for aviation. He noted that it is absolutely safe to fly with Russian airlines, because they are fully certified, as well as aircraft components.

Also in August, the head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, announced that the company would begin mass production of Russian MC-21, SJ-100 and Il-114 aircraft for civilian use in 2026. In addition, certification flights will be completed by the end of 2026, after which mass production of domestic aircraft will begin.
