In 2007, VASO became part of the state-owned United Aircraft Corporation (UAC).

In July 2009, UAC said it will invest 5 billion rubles ($162 mln) in the modernization of VASO's facilities.

According to UAC, VASO will build 5 An-148 passenger aircraft in 2009, 18 in 2010, 36 in 2011, and 50 planes would be made annually from 2013 onwards.

However, the yearly revenue of the plant is lower than the average price of one wide-body airliner.
