Aeroflot targets 50% Russian-made fleet by 2036, aligning fleet composition policy six years behind original plan

Aeroflot says it is planning for half of its fleet to be composed of Russian-made aircraft within the next decade, targeting 50% by 2036. The carrier’s roadmap reflects a delayed implementation of an official domestic-vs-foreign aircraft quota scheme set by presidential order and government plans.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Aeroflot’s 50% Russian-made target by 2036 is a concrete demand signal for the domestic manufacturing pipeline—directly tied to broader efforts to rebuild Russia’s civil aircraft industrial base (see Russia’s transport minister flags hurdles in rebuilding civil aircraft manufacturing).
The note that the quota timetable has slipped underscores persistent execution risk in import substitution, from production capacity to aircraft availability—an issue that also frames Russia’s certification and re-certification push (see Russia targets 2026 certification for Il-114-300, Superjet 100 and MC-21).
Fleet-composition policy is tightening system-wide compliance and oversight as aircraft are shifted onto Russia’s registry and regulators adjust flight-safety and airworthiness controls (see Russia drafts new federal flight-safety regulations after large-scale aircraft registry transfers).
