Irkut and Lufthansa Consulting will jointly promote MS-21 at the global market

Irkut Corporation and Lufthansa Consulting will jointly promote MS-21 at the global market, ITAR-TASS reports.

As reported by a source close to Irkut Corporation, the main areas of cooperation are MS-21 marketing and sales process improvement, elaboration of instruments for promotion, assistance in creation of customer-oriented post-sales support system, which meets the requirement of world’s leading airlines.

MS-21 aircraft is under development. The liner will be manufactured in three versions: МS-21-200 (150 seats, range – 3500 km), МS-21-300 (180 seats, range – 5000 km) and МS-21-400 (212 seats, range – 5500 km). It is expected that MS-21 will outdo the existing aircraft by technical level, since many of its components will be made of composites for the first time ever.

The current order backlog for MS-21 includes 150 aircraft. This jet should replace the currently operated Тu-154s and Тu-204s. The first serial МS-21 will be manufactured in 2017.

Lufthansa Consulting is the subsidiary of Lufthansa German Airlines. The company’s portfolio and areas of expertise include activities of airlines, airports and representatives of aviation authorities.
