Russian Mainline Airliner MC-21 to be Supported with Rubles

New aid package for the Russian aviation industry will be directed to expanding the production of MC-21

The Russian government has prepared a package of additional measures to support the Russian aviation industry.

The government continues to make decisions to support domestic aircraft construction. This sector is extremely important for achieving technological sovereignty and economic growth of the entire country, and for fulfilling the tasks set by the President of the Russian Federation.

The funds will be directed to expanding the production of promising medium-range MC-21 airliners. The program for subsidizing interest rates on loans that companies attract for the purchase of Russian aviation equipment will also be extended, he continued.

Today we will consider a package of measures to help the industry in order to expand the production of promising medium-range MC-21 airliners. We will change the rules for submitting subsidies from the federal budget. This decision will allow a number of aircraft construction enterprises to use about 20 billion rubles for technical re-equipment.
