Colleagues from the Ministry of Digital Development promised in 2027-2028. Of course, we are waiting for this, we have signed the corresponding agreement, and I think passengers want it. A popular service. I would also like it to be free for passengers, as it is now implemented all over the world.
Alexandrovsky also noted that he would like passengers to be able to use this technology for free.
The General Director of the group added that over the past two years, Aeroflot has increased the share of expenses for the development of domestic software from 33 to 95%.
We have invested for many years. The amount of domestic software that we included in expenses was about 33%. This is part of our history, since Aeroflot actively competed with global carriers. Therefore, we were forced to use global solutions. Over the past two years, we have increased the share of expenses for domestic software to 95%. This is a huge amount of work.
