Russian state conglomerate Rostec and carrier Aeroflot have signed what TASS reported is the largest contract in the history of Russian civil aviation.
Russian carrier Aeroflot and state industrial conglomerate Rostec have signed a contract for the delivery of 90 MC-21 passenger aircraft, according to a report by TASS, the Russian state news agency.
TASS described the agreement as the largest contract in the history of Russian civil aviation, though the report did not disclose the financial value of the deal or a specific delivery timeline.
The MC-21 is a Russian-made narrow-body passenger jet developed to serve as a domestically produced alternative to Western aircraft such as the Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 families, according to prior reporting on the program.
Rostec, a state-owned defense and industrial conglomerate, oversees aircraft manufacturing operations in Russia, including the development and production of the MC-21.
TASS did not provide further details on the terms of the contract, the production schedule, or when deliveries of the aircraft to Aeroflot are expected to begin.
