On December 26, 2022, another test flight is to be carried out with the Ilyushin Il-114-300 model. The second pre-series model should then rise into the air. This was manufactured in Luchowizy, where series production of the new version of the turboprop is planned.
Since Crash of an Il-112, which occurred in the previous year no Il-114-300 test flights carried out. The background is that the same engine is used. The UAC was actually aiming for approval for 2022. Due to the delays, this has become a long way off. The Russian government assumes that at least 70 units can be delivered from 2024. Because of the Western sanctions, the program is to be "accelerated".
