UAC plans to increase aircraft production by 25-30% in 2026

MOSCOW, September 21. /TASS/. United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) maintains its plans to increase aircraft production by 25-30% in 2026 and intends to sustain this pace over the next several years, UAC CEO Vadim Badekha told reporters.

"Overall, those plans remain in place. In 2025, we already increased production by around 35% compared with 2024, and this year we are generally maintaining a similar pace. I think we will be able to sustain this pace over the next several years as well," he said when asked whether plans to increase aircraft production by 25-30% in 2026 remained in place.

Badekha noted that while growth in 2025-2026 was driven mainly by military aircraft, civilian aircraft will account for most of the increase in production in the coming years.

UAC also maintains its plans to end 2026 and following years with a positive financial result, Badekha told reporters. "One hundred percent, we will not return there [to the loss-making zone]," he said.
