Ilyushin IL-114

Ilyushin IL-114 History

The Ilyushin Il-114 (Russian ? -114) is a Russian twin-engine turboprop airliner designed for local routes. It was designed to replace the Antonov An-24 and first flew in 1990. A total of 20 Il-114s were built.

Production of the Il-114 was suspended in July 2012 and the sixth and final aircraft was delivered to Uzbekistan Airways on 24 May 2013. In 2016, the company announced that it would resume production using all-Russian components, with a new maiden flight in 2019 and a first commercial aircraft in 2021.

The decision to stop production comes after the government of Uzbekistan decided to convert the Tashkent plant to other production lines (i.e. structural units, household products, spare parts for cars and agricultural equipment), despite Russia's interest in maintaining production lines and a reported high demand for aircraft. This translated into an announcement by factory representatives in October 2013 that production would resume after the factory had resolved financial problems and due to the interest of the "Russian side".
