Aurora will acquire Il-114-300 aircraft in 2028

Russian regional carrier Aurora plans to begin receiving domestically produced Il-114-300 aircraft from 2028, following completion of the type’s main certification flight program. The rollout is part of a broader effort to equip Far Eastern routes with Russian-made regional aircraft, with officials indicating a regional need of about 20 Il-114-300 units. This timeline underscores both progress in Russia’s civil aviation import-substitution strategy and potential capacity constraints in near-term regional connectivity in the Far East.
