Perhaps cerimonial? Seems odd that they would need keys. Not like they're Escalades getting stollen all the time.

Boeing used to supply a set of keys to the customer when a new aircraft was accepted, they may well still do. They are mainly symbolic. I dont know if the keys actually unlocked anything, possibly the flightdeck door in more innocent times. I can't imagine Tupolev airliners really need a set of keys either.


The glass isn't half empty, or half full, it's twice as big as it needs to be.

Many older Russian planes had real locks on the entry and cargo doors to prevent unauthorised access when parked on ground (simililarly to business jets). I think the Tu-204 might have them too.
