Russia may start purchasing imported aircraft when foreign markets open, but the country has the conditions for developing its own industry. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.
According to him, Russia assumes that sooner or later the markets will open.
In addition to our aviation industry, we will be able to purchase imported aircraft if ours are not ready. The same 309th decree stipulates that each airline can have 50% domestic and 50% imported aircraft in its fleet.
Savelyev added that a foundation is now being laid for the aviation industry so that it can count on orders.
Mobility is growing. These are huge volumes. Aviation has been holding up for three and a half years, despite sanctions and the lack of spare parts. We are looking for our own solutions. Everything is flying with us.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that a full cycle of production of PD-8 and PD-14 blades will ensure the independence of aircraft engine construction in Russia.
