MOSCOW, January 30. /TASS/. Aeroflot Group's aircraft fleet will amount to about 500 aircraft in 2030, while it is planned that 70% of them will be Russian-made, the airline’s general director Sergey Aleksandrovsky told reporters talking about the company's new strategy.
He noted that the company plans to receive the first updated Sukhoi Superjet New (SSJ New) aircraft in December this year, and the MC-21 aircraft in the fourth quarter of 2024.
"According to our conservative forecast, the number of the fleet at the end of 2030 will be about 500 aircraft. This forecast may be revised towards a more optimistic one in terms of increasing the number of imported aircraft and, accordingly, the market share," Aleksandrovsky said.
"Also in 2030 we plan to put into operation of 339 domestic aircraft and the development of competencies to maintain airworthiness. The ratio of foreign and domestic aircraft in the group's fleet will be 30 to 70%, respectively," he added.
