The United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and the Indian company Flamingo Aerospace have signed a preliminary agreement for the supply of six IL-114-300 turboprop aircraft. The signing took place within the framework of the Wings India 2026 International Aviation Exhibition in Hyderabad. This was reported on January 28 in the Telegram channel of the UAC.

"The cooperation program is aimed at meeting India's growing regional aviation needs. The delivery of six IL-114-300 aircraft will be the first stage," the report says.

As part of the agreements, it is planned that UAC will provide the partner with a roadmap for the development of aviation competencies. Such measures will allow for a phased increase in aircraft assembly, maintenance and modification capabilities in India.
