At the meeting of the Board of Directors of Tupolev JSC, which was held on November 9 in Kazan, discussed the progress of the program of scaling the production of passenger aircraft Tu-214. The country’s leadership provides all possible support to the Kazan Aviation Plant, where a program of modernization and technical re-equipment of production is underway, the press service of the United Aircraft Corporation said.
Rustam Minnikhanov, Rais of the Republic of Tatarstan, noted that the construction of two new production facilities has already begun at the plant, and work is underway to purchase new equipment and train highly qualified personnel. “All this will make it possible to complete the state task to increase the production of medium-haul Tu-214 passenger airplanes on time and with high quality,” Rustam Minnikhanov said.
In connection with the growth of the plant’s production program, it is planned to build a machining center for the manufacture of long parts and a new building for the aggregate and final assembly of Tu-214 aircraft. Before the meeting the ceremony of laying the first piles at the construction sites of the new factory buildings was held.
KAZ is engaged in the fulfillment of the state defense order to resume production of Tu-160M strategic missile carriers and increase production of civilian equipment, which requires a serious upgrade of production, said the representative of the plant. “The development of KAZ is one of the largest investment projects of modernization of enterprises of the aviation industry. New buildings will allow to multiply the rate of construction of Tu-214 passenger aircraft, which in turn will provide civil aviation with new modern aircraft and will contribute to the creation of new jobs,” emphasized the plant.
