Airbus is referenced in Russian media as a major competitor to domestic aircraft such as the MS-21 and Il-114, with Russian officials like Sergei Chemezov of Rostekh describing the MS-21 as a potential replacement for Airbus and Boeing if those companies return to Russia. The company's presence in Russia is noted through its aircraft operating at major airports including Domodedovo, Koltsovo, and Pulkovo. Some pilots reportedly praised the Il-114 over Airbus models, while designers highlighted advantages of the MS-21 such as a wider fuselage and greater passenger comfort.
