Irkutsk Aviation Plant

Irkutsk Aviation Plant (Russian: Иркутский авиационный завод) is a company based in Irkutsk, Russia and established in 1932. It is a branch of Irkut Corporation, itself part of United Aircraft Corporation. As of 2014, 2,500 people work in the plant.[1]

The Irkutsk Aviation Production Association, one of the oldest defense enterprises of the Transbaykal region, builds the Su-27 Flanker trainer. Since becoming a joint-stock firm it has aggressively sought to expand its civil and consumer product lines while maintaining some aircraft production.[2]

Since its establishment in 1932, the plant has produced over 7,000 aircraft, including the Su-30 and Yak-130. It is also involved in the production of the MC-21 airliner.[1]
