OAK plans to cease producing the Tupolev Tu-204 twinjet ahead of launching manufacture of the all-new MS-21 next-generation airliner in 2015.
Annual production of the twinjet will not exceed 15-16 in all variants over the next few years. "Taking account of feasible orders from domestic and foreign airlines, it is realistic to supply fewer than 100 aircraft before 2015,"
OAK has chosen the MS-21, which is touted as the first next-generation narrow body replacement design, as its sole prospective product on the mainline airliner side.
