EconomyWhat does it take to sell a Russian jet to a Russian airline? A three-person cockpit is the obstacle
A potential deal for up to 100 Tu-214 passenger aircraft between S7 Airlines and the State Transport Leasing Company may collapse, or be reduced to only a minimum number of planes. The report attributes that possibility to sources in the aviation industry cited by Russia’s business daily Kommersant. The aircraft maker has been unable to promise that the jet’s cockpit will not require a three-person crew. That unresolved issue threatens the scale of the proposed sale.
