The future of the Tupolev Tu-204 narrowbody looks ever more uncertain after Russian authorities suspended the air operator’s certificate of the largest operator, Red Wings. The program is already in limbo and has no firm orders.
Volga-Dnepr Group has been pushing United Aircraft Corp. (UAC) and Antonov to restart production of its An-124 Ruslan freighter for years. With no additional orders in sight, the operator may take the project into its own hands.
