00:03.520 --> 00:05.600
The IS114300

00:05.600 --> 00:08.080
regional aircraft is expected to receive

00:08.080 --> 00:11.679
certification by the end of 2025.

00:11.679 --> 00:14.160
This will represent a major step in the

00:14.160 --> 00:17.359
advancement of Russian civil aviation.

00:17.359 --> 00:19.760
Daniel Brenerman, the managing director

00:19.760 --> 00:23.119
of the SV Illusian Aviation Complex, has

00:23.119 --> 00:25.279
said that this aircraft is a substantial

00:25.279 --> 00:27.279
improvement in regional air travel in

00:27.279 --> 00:28.640
Russia.

00:28.640 --> 00:30.720
The key reason is its superior fuel

00:30.720 --> 00:32.160
efficiency compared to foreign

00:32.160 --> 00:34.320
competitors.

00:34.320 --> 00:36.239
The L114300

00:36.239 --> 00:40.480
uses 560 kg of fuel per hour. That is

00:40.480 --> 00:45.280
about 16% less than the ATR72-600,

00:45.280 --> 00:47.920
its main foreign competitor. At a

00:47.920 --> 00:50.879
typical load of 66 passengers over 1,000

00:50.879 --> 00:54.879
km, its fuel consumption is 21.8 g per

00:54.879 --> 00:57.840
passenger per kilometer. This is lower

00:57.840 --> 01:00.960
than the ATR, which burns between 22 and

01:00.960 --> 01:04.478
24 g per passenger per kilometer.

01:04.479 --> 01:06.560
Planned improvements include a reduction

01:06.560 --> 01:11.200
of 628 kg in operating empty weight. As

01:11.200 --> 01:13.520
a result, range is expected to increase

01:13.520 --> 01:17.920
to 1,450 km with fuel burn reduced to 19

01:17.920 --> 01:20.960
g per passenger per kilometer.

01:20.960 --> 01:23.520
Prime Minister Male Mashen noted the

01:23.520 --> 01:25.600
IL114300's

01:25.600 --> 01:28.720
14% efficiency advantage over foreign

01:28.720 --> 01:31.840
models at the Inoprom exhibition.

01:31.840 --> 01:33.759
This underscored the government's

01:33.759 --> 01:36.320
confidence in the program.

01:36.320 --> 01:38.400
Historical data shows that the original

01:38.400 --> 01:41.920
Soviet era L114 models were more fuel

01:41.920 --> 01:43.680
efficient than comparable Western

01:43.680 --> 01:45.439
aircraft.

01:45.439 --> 01:47.439
For example, they outperformed the

01:47.439 --> 01:51.040
dehavland Q400 nextgen. This highlights

01:51.040 --> 01:54.320
the L114 family's strong track record in

01:54.320 --> 01:57.200
economical regional aviation.

01:57.200 --> 01:59.360
The IS114300

01:59.360 --> 02:02.399
has already completed more than 350 test

02:02.399 --> 02:05.360
flights. This shows that it is nearly

02:05.360 --> 02:08.399
ready for commercial service. The flight

02:08.399 --> 02:11.200
test program resumed in 2024 after

02:11.200 --> 02:14.319
delays using multiple prototypes.

02:14.319 --> 02:16.560
The second prototype alone has flown

02:16.560 --> 02:20.239
more than 100 times with a total of 280

02:20.239 --> 02:22.959
flight hours. Tests have verified

02:22.959 --> 02:25.440
stability, control, and the reliability

02:25.440 --> 02:27.920
of all onboard systems, most of which

02:27.920 --> 02:30.800
are made in Russia. The United

02:30.800 --> 02:33.360
Corporation's TV71

02:33.360 --> 02:36.879
17st01 turborops have been tested for

02:36.879 --> 02:39.120
more than 2,000 hours, proving excellent

02:39.120 --> 02:42.000
fuel efficiency and performance.

02:42.000 --> 02:43.840
The L114300

02:43.840 --> 02:47.200
is now in its final certification phase.

02:47.200 --> 02:49.680
Rosstec and United Aircraft Corporation

02:49.680 --> 02:51.599
confirmed that serial deliveries will

02:51.599 --> 02:54.160
begin in 2026.

02:54.160 --> 02:56.160
The aircraft is intended to replace

02:56.160 --> 02:58.560
Soviet era regional planes such as the

02:58.560 --> 03:00.400
AN24.

03:00.400 --> 03:02.879
Its design makes it especially useful in

03:02.879 --> 03:06.239
remote regions and harsh climates. The

03:06.239 --> 03:08.080
project has full support from the

03:08.080 --> 03:09.920
Russian government and industrial

03:09.920 --> 03:11.599
partners.

03:11.599 --> 03:13.680
A leasing deal has been signed between

03:13.680 --> 03:16.080
the state transport leasing company and

03:16.080 --> 03:18.319
Aurora Airlines.

03:18.319 --> 03:20.800
Three L114300

03:20.800 --> 03:22.879
aircraft will be delivered starting in

03:22.879 --> 03:24.879
2027.

03:24.879 --> 03:26.640
This marks the type's entry into

03:26.640 --> 03:28.800
operational service and the gradual

03:28.800 --> 03:32.319
replacement of old Soviet planes. The

03:32.319 --> 03:34.720
contract supports the goal of improving

03:34.720 --> 03:36.879
air connectivity in the Russian Far

03:36.879 --> 03:38.400
East.

03:38.400 --> 03:41.519
The Isle 1114300 was designed with the

03:41.519 --> 03:44.799
Far East in mind. Aurora Airlines

03:44.799 --> 03:47.040
operates many regional routes in tough

03:47.040 --> 03:48.640
environments.

03:48.640 --> 03:50.640
Compared to foreign alternatives, the

03:50.640 --> 03:52.560
IL114300

03:52.560 --> 03:54.879
is more fuel efficient, has lower

03:54.879 --> 03:56.959
operating costs, and offers better

03:56.959 --> 03:58.640
reliability.

03:58.640 --> 04:01.040
This makes it especially valuable for

04:01.040 --> 04:04.239
improving access in remote regions.

04:04.239 --> 04:07.519
Aurora's CEO Constantine Sukorobick has

04:07.519 --> 04:09.360
pointed out the financial difficulties

04:09.360 --> 04:11.439
of airport infrastructure in the Far

04:11.439 --> 04:14.799
East. He suggests reducing airport fees

04:14.799 --> 04:17.440
in small settlements to improve regional

04:17.440 --> 04:19.280
flight viability.

04:19.280 --> 04:21.280
Aurora also plans to oversee some

04:21.280 --> 04:24.080
airport operations directly.

04:24.080 --> 04:26.160
This would help control costs, ensure

04:26.160 --> 04:28.240
timely service, and support the

04:28.240 --> 04:30.320
expansion of its already large route

04:30.320 --> 04:31.919
network.

04:31.919 --> 04:34.639
The GTLK contract highlights Aurora's

04:34.639 --> 04:36.800
role as the main regional carrier in the

04:36.800 --> 04:39.520
Far East. It also reflects the

04:39.520 --> 04:41.759
governmentbacked effort to modernize the

04:41.759 --> 04:44.720
fleet. The wider strategy includes

04:44.720 --> 04:47.680
airport upgrades, new aircraft, lower

04:47.680 --> 04:49.680
costs, and a potential increase in

04:49.680 --> 04:52.240
passenger traffic of up to 5 million per

04:52.240 --> 04:54.560
year by 2030.

04:54.560 --> 04:57.759
Aurora's adoption of the L114300

04:57.759 --> 05:00.960
is central to these plans. The aircraft

05:00.960 --> 05:03.360
provides modern, efficient, and locally

05:03.360 --> 05:06.560
suitable commuter service. This makes it

05:06.560 --> 05:08.639
key to both economic and social

05:08.639 --> 05:11.759
development in Russia's Far East.

05:11.759 --> 05:14.320
Dimmitri Yadrov, head of Rosaviatsia,

05:14.320 --> 05:16.960
has confirmed that the IL114300

05:16.960 --> 05:20.400
certification is in its final stage.

05:20.400 --> 05:24.479
Approval is expected by the end of 2025.

05:24.479 --> 05:26.479
This marks the market launch of one of

05:26.479 --> 05:28.960
Russia's most important civil aircraft

05:28.960 --> 05:30.639
programs.

05:30.639 --> 05:32.880
The L114300

05:32.880 --> 05:34.960
is not just a replacement for aging

05:34.960 --> 05:38.080
Soviet planes. It represents a major

05:38.080 --> 05:40.320
technological step designed for Russia's

05:40.320 --> 05:42.960
diverse regional needs.

05:42.960 --> 05:45.120
The IS14300

05:45.120 --> 05:47.360
can operate in extreme conditions

05:47.360 --> 05:50.080
including the Arctic and Far East.

05:50.080 --> 05:52.160
It can fly from small, poorly equipped

05:52.160 --> 05:55.600
air strips, including unpaved runways.

05:55.600 --> 05:57.520
Enhancements include improved crew

05:57.520 --> 06:00.320
comfort, more composite materials, a new

06:00.320 --> 06:02.320
digital cockpit, and higher fuel

06:02.320 --> 06:04.080
efficiency.

06:04.080 --> 06:06.400
UC Climov has completed certification

06:06.400 --> 06:08.560
tests for the TV7117

06:08.560 --> 06:12.080
ST01 engines. They are now cleared for

06:12.080 --> 06:14.479
unrestricted operation.

06:14.479 --> 06:16.720
These engines provide more takeoff power

06:16.720 --> 06:18.720
and better fuel economy than foreign

06:18.720 --> 06:20.720
rivals.

06:20.720 --> 06:23.120
The IS114300

06:23.120 --> 06:25.199
is central to Russia's plan to reduce

06:25.199 --> 06:28.479
dependence on foreign aircraft. It has

06:28.479 --> 06:31.199
64 to 68 seats, making it a strong

06:31.199 --> 06:33.680
replacement for models such as the AD42,

06:33.680 --> 06:37.440
AR72, and Bombardia Q series.

06:37.440 --> 06:39.680
Over 50 aircraft are planned for

06:39.680 --> 06:42.160
delivery by 2030 with production

06:42.160 --> 06:45.360
starting in 2026.

06:45.360 --> 06:47.600
The program also honors the legacy of

06:47.600 --> 06:49.600
Sergey Ilushin.

06:49.600 --> 06:51.680
His design bureau produced Soviet

06:51.680 --> 06:53.759
aircraft known for durability and

06:53.759 --> 06:56.720
reliability in harsh conditions.

06:56.720 --> 06:59.039
The IL114300

06:59.039 --> 07:01.120
continues this tradition while adding

07:01.120 --> 07:03.280
modern technology.

07:03.280 --> 07:05.520
The certification process is closely

07:05.520 --> 07:07.919
managed by Rosa Viatzia.

07:07.919 --> 07:10.319
Weekly reviews ensure that every change

07:10.319 --> 07:13.440
to the type certificate is approved.

07:13.440 --> 07:15.520
This structured approach guarantees

07:15.520 --> 07:18.240
safety and performance compliance before

07:18.240 --> 07:22.479
commercial service begins. The IS14300

07:22.479 --> 07:24.560
is expected to become a flagship of

07:24.560 --> 07:27.039
Russia's regional aviation.

07:27.039 --> 07:29.360
It will expand air access, boost

07:29.360 --> 07:31.039
passenger traffic, and support

07:31.039 --> 07:33.120
socioeconomic growth across remote

07:33.120 --> 07:35.680
areas.
