Russian Machines' Aircraft Manufacturing utilizes the assets of the Aviakor plant, located in Samara and is one of the largest Russian aircraft construction enterprises.
Aviation Plant number 18 was evacuated in the autumn of 1941 and moved from Voronezh to Samara. where it organized mass production of Il-2 at the new location. After World War II and until 1958, it produced military aircraft: Tu-4, IL-28 and Tu-95. Later, the company produced aircraft for civil aviation: Tu-114, Tu-154, and Tu-154M.
The main activities at the Aviakor plant today are constructing, repairing, maintaining, and supplying spare parts for the Tu-154 and An-140 passenger aircraft. The plant is one of the few in Russia that have engaged in serial production of civil and military aircraft from parts and units of its own production.
In 2008, Aviakor had completed construction of the Tu-154 and also developed a major overhaul of three aircraft. Revenue at Aviakor in 2008 amounted to 1.072 million rubles and a net loss of 520 million rubles. By the beginning of 2009, Aviakor produced two airplanes and a series of five aircraft.[clarification needed]
During the 21st century, the factory earned its only net profit in 2009 (excluding the intermediate indicators and 2011). Uncovered losses in 2010 amounted to 1.65 billion rubles.
In the beginning of 2013, the Aviakor plant released six airplanes. Four of them were produced for Yakutia airlines, two went to storage without engines and three went to the Russian Air Force. The wing and fuselage of the An-140 is produced at Kharkov aviation plant (KSAMC) and the assembly is carried out at the aircraft Aviakor plant.[2]
