As the press service reminds, the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation celebrates its 90th anniversary. A symbolic gift for this significant event was the participation of Gazpromneft-Aero in the restoration of the Tu-144, which also serves as evidence of the institute's key role in the formation of aviation personnel and a careful attitude to the national aviation heritage.

The restoration of the Tu-144 is not only the preservation of the memory of an outstanding engineering achievement, but also an opportunity to show young people an example of the strength of the domestic aviation school. For cadets, getting acquainted with this aircraft will become an inspiration and a reminder that bold ideas and ambitious goals have always been part of our profession.
Evgeny Smolnikov, Rector of the Ulyanovsk Institute of Civil Aviation

Gazpromneft-Aero has been cooperating with UI GA for more than ten years: it supports the practical training of cadets, conducts master classes and career guidance sessions, forming a sustainable personnel reserve for the aviation industry.
