Tupolev Tu-204 300

1 aircraft

The Tupolev Tu-204 represented Russia's ambitious attempt to compete with Western narrow-body airliners in the post-Soviet era. First flown on January 2, 1989, it was designed as a twin-engine medium-range aircraft capable of carrying 210 passengers in standard configuration or up to 240 in high-density seating. With a length of 46.1 meters and wingspan of 41.8 meters, the aircraft was intended to replace the aging Tu-154 trijet in Aeroflot's fleet. The Tu-204 was developed by Tupolev JSC and manufactured primarily at Aviastar-SP in Ulyanovsk, Russia.
