GTLK signs agreements to provide 50 UZGA LMS-901 Baikals to Aerokhimflot alliance

Russian state lessor GTLK has signed four agreements to supply 50 UZGA LMS-901 Baikal utility aircraft to enterprises within the Aerokhimflot alliance. Aerokhimflot reached a provisional deal with UZGA more than two years ago to acquire 120 LMS-901s starting in 2026.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The agreements commit 50 LMS-901s and advance Aerokhimflot’s earlier provisional order for 120 airframes from 2026, providing a concrete near‑term delivery/financing metric for UZGA and GTLK.
  • The deal signals continued state-backed procurement and leasing support amid broader efforts to establish a domestic financing framework for civil aircraft, as Moscow has directed Rostec to design a civil aircraft financing model (see civil aircraft financing framework).
  • It occurs against a backdrop of constrained Russian demand and production — United Aircraft Corporation reports just 74 firm domestic orders and manufacturers have delivered only one of 15 planned commercial jets this year — underscoring supply and market pressures that will shape UZGA’s production ramp (see UAC domestic orders and Russian civil jet output slump).
