Rosaviatsiya grants type certification for the Il-114-300 turboprop, unlocking series production

Russia’s civil aviation regulator Rosaviatsiya has approved the modernised Ilyushin Il-114-300 turboprop for type certification, announced at the St. Petersburg economic forum. The approval clears the path for serial production and deliveries to airlines, as UAC also cites reported interest from Indian carriers for up to 200 Il-114-300 and SJ-100 aircraft.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Type certification is the gating item that converts Russia’s Il-114-300 program from development/approval into production and near-term delivery planning, a step aligned with the broader domestic re-certification targets highlighted in Russia targets 2026 certification for Il-114-300, Superjet 100 and MC-21.
Reported Indian airline interest (up to 200 aircraft across Il-114-300 and SJ-100) creates a potential demand signal for Russia’s import-substitution strategy and shifts near-term commercial planning beyond the home market.
The forum-linked certification announcement also reinforces how regulators’ approvals are being used to accelerate fleet replacement decisions for operators still operating in a sanctions-constrained supply environment, building on earlier UAC delivery momentum such as UAC kicks off Tu-214 deliveries.
