Over 30 Billion Rubles Allocated to Russia's Aviation Industry: Domestic MC-21 and SJ-100 on the Way

The government hasn't forgotten about supporting airports that have been closed since 2022

The amount of subsidies for the domestic aviation industry already exceeds 30 billion rubles. This was announced by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev.

According to him, in addition to airlines, support is being provided to airports that remain closed at the moment. Savelyev reminded that the state provides subsidies to the aviation industry as a whole.

We have provided 25 billion rubles in subsidies to support airlines specifically. We support those airports that are still closed for use – that's another 6 billion. 31 billion rubles are planned this year to make our transportation more accessible to our citizens.
Vitaly Savelyev, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation 

Savelyev noted that the Russian Federation is actively updating the fleet of domestic aircraft. In particular, this concerns the import-substituted Sukhoi Superjet 100 and MC-21-310.

The Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation reported that at least 75 airfields will be built and reconstructed in Russia by 2030. The development of the core airfield network is part of the national project "Efficient Transport System."

Earlier, www1.ru reported that experimental work has not even begun for the phantom aircraft engine PD-26.
