Global jet producer rankings highlight impact of international sanctions

Ilyushin comes seventh with 35 aircraft operating worldwide. Its products include the Il-114 turboprop and several jet models like the Il-96, which remains partially active despite its outdated design.

In sixth place is Tupolev with 36 planes in operation. Known for its Tu-204/214 series, it faces challenges in reviving production amid parts shortages exacerbated by sanctions.

Sukhoi stands fifth with 133 Superjet 100 regional jets currently flying. The company's focus is on overcoming supply chain disruptions caused by international restrictions.

China's COMAC occupies fourth place with 161 aircraft, including the C919 narrowbody jet aimed at reducing dependency on Western technology amidst potential future sanctions impacts.

Embraer from Brazil ranks third with a fleet size of 1,857 E-Jet family aircraft globally recognized for efficiency on short-haul routes. Embraer states that their largest model maximizes returns on high-density routes.

Airbus holds second position with over 11,000 planes according to ch-aviation data, although Airbus claims higher numbers when accounting for inactive fleets as well. The European giant delivered more than twice as many planes as Boeing last year despite missing its own delivery targets.

Boeing leads with approximately 11,592 operational units worldwide but reported fewer deliveries than Airbus during a challenging year marked by reduced output across its major product lines like the Boeing 737 family and Dreamliner series.
