Aviastar-SP is planning to form a joint venture with AeroComposit to manufacture wings for MS-21 medium-haul passenger jets in Russia.
The plant is working on a programme for the development of the medium-haul Tu-204SM jet, with the first aircraft being sent for certification trials to a testing ground in Zhukovsky outside Moscow.
Aviastar's Ulyanovsk-based plant is planning to build more than 40 Tu-204SM jets.
The plant may soon be authorised to assemble the An-70 new generation cargo planes, according to bernama.com.
