AeroVolga Borey
The AeroVolga Borey, introduced by Russian aerospace firm AeroVolga in 2015, quickly became a hallmark of modern regional aviation. Developed as a response to the growing demand for versatile, short‑haul aircraft capable of operating from both paved and unpaved runways, the Borey drew on decades of AeroVolga’s experience with utility planes such as the Antei and Volga. Powered by twin turboprop engines delivering 1,200 shaft horsepower each, the aircraft can cruise at 440 km/h while carrying up to 12 passengers or 1,800 kilograms of cargo. Its high‑wing configuration, rugged landing gear, and composite‑reinforced fuselage provide exceptional stability and low‑maintenance operation in harsh climates ranging from Siberian tundra to remote desert airstrips. Advanced avionics, including a glass cockpit with satellite navigation and terrain‑avoidance systems, meet contemporary safety standards. Since entering service, the Borey has been adopted by regional airlines, humanitarian NGOs, and government agencies, proving its adaptability for passenger transport, medical evacuation, and cargo missions. The aircraft’s blend of reliability, economical performance, and operational flexibility has cemented its role as a pivotal platform in expanding air connectivity across underserved regions worldwide today.
