A medium-range passenger aircraft with 214 seats, designed as a replacement for the Tu-154. First flown on 2 January 1989, the Tu-204 was the first Soviet-built airliner with fly-by-wire controls.
The Tu-214 airliner is based on the Tu-204 but features increased take-off weights and longer range. The first flight of the Tu-214 was in March 1996.
Despite its formal designation as a civilian aircraft, the Tu-214 plane has never truly functioned as a commercial airliner. Instead, it has been produced almost exclusively in niche variants, such as the Tu-214R aircraft for reconnaissance, the Tu-214ON unit for observation, and various government “special mission” aircraft.
In 2014 Kazan Aviation Plant fulfilled only 10% of its production quota for the Tu-214 airliners, delivering just two aircraft instead of the planned twenty. The aircraft are even sent abroad, to Belarus, for painting. With a goal of building 70 Tu-214 units by 2030, manufacturing rates make that deadline highly unrealistic.
