Ilyushin Il-114

The Ilyushin Il-114 is a twin-engine turboprop regional airliner designed by the Ilyushin design bureau to replace the Antonov An-24 on short routes from poorly equipped airfields. The programme was launched in June 1986 by the Soviet Ministry of Aviation Industry, and the first prototype flew on 29 March 1990. A second prototype crashed in 1993, which led the Russian government to withdraw funding, and the type was certified in 1997. Series production began in 1992 at the Tashkent Aircraft Production Association in Uzbekistan, and only about twenty aircraft were built before the last one in 2012. Variants include the Il-114-100 with Pratt and Whitney Canada engines, the Il-114T freighter and maritime patrol versions. The Il-114-300, a shorter version with new Russian engines, received its Russian type certificate in June 2026.
