Rostec admits Yakovlev MC-21-310 certification and production delays; first deliveries pushed to 2027

Rostec chief acknowledged certification and production shortfalls discussed with Vladimir Putin, saying initial Yakovlev MC-21-310 deliveries are now delayed until 2027. The slide in the program’s near-term timeline adds pressure on Russia’s domestic airliner restart plan as authorities target earlier certification milestones for multiple types.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The MC-21-310 schedule slip affects the credibility of Russia’s plan to rebuild civil aircraft production capacity, compounding earlier delays highlighted in coverage of Russia targeting 2026 certification for multiple domestic airliner programs (source:7c7c7c35-40e1-47e1-ba36-1d3aa11a84d3).
  • For operators and lessors tracking delivery lead times, shifting “first deliveries” to 2027 changes fleet planning assumptions and raises the bar for follow-on certification and ramp execution.
  • Rostec’s acknowledgment ties schedule risk to certification and production execution—useful signal for assessing how industrial bottlenecks are translating into measurable aircraft delivery delays.
