Big changes await Russian aviation industry. In this difficult time, the state, in spite of the former liberal-market approach, began to actively support the aircraft industry., and directly passenger transportation. What changes are ahead for us?
First of all, should say, that Aeroflot will have a new competitor, another state airline, and its "feature" will be the use of domestically produced aircraft, said Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov:Today based on the Red Wings company, which belongs to Rostec, a company will be created, where the emphasis will be placed on the use of precisely domestic aircraft.
Over the next four years, the air carrier will acquire 16 medium-haul liners MS-21 and 60 short-haul "Superjet-100". Wherein 4 aircraft MS-21 will be equipped with a PD-14 engine, and the rest 12 - power plant PW1400G. Domestic liners are purchased through UAC under a leasing scheme, first 6 "Superjets" will enter the airline before the end 2020 in general, the emergence of a new carrier, operating Russian aircraft, can you greet, as well as competition between two state-owned companies. At the same time, Aeroflot itself will also face big changes., the world famous Aeroflot brand will be made a premium, designed for long-haul transportation. Here the rate will still be placed on foreign liners. However, 2026 the appearance of the modernized wide-body Il-96-400M is expected. It will be possible to increase its competitiveness in comparison with American and European products with 2028 of the year, when the promised more efficient PD-35 engine goes into production, which can be installed by two instead of the current four. In the so-called mass segment, Aeroflot is betting on Pobeda, which transferred all commercially viable medium-haul routes. This low-cost airline has been developing very actively lately., thanks to attractive ticket prices. Author of lines, who recently visited both of our capitals, can confirm, that at the airports now more than two-thirds of the announcements for departure fall on Pobeda. true, the carrier, slightly unpatriotic, prefers to use American Boeing as a "workhorse" 737-800. Another area of activity of Aeroflot – this is the Rossiya airline. She will fly low margin, subsidized routes. Here the carrier relies on domestic liners.: planned to purchase 85 liners MS-21 and 150 "Superjets". probably, this will be the most financially problematic division of the air carrier., Russian planes are starting to use more actively and private. for example, regional carrier "Azimut" little-known to the general public, based in Rostov-on-Don, intends to operate only "Superjets", to purchase which the State Transport Leasing Company helps him. The airline solved a painful topic with the after-sale service of a short-haul liner by creating its own warehouse with spare parts at the Platov airport., where she is the base carrier. In this way, we can say, that the state really contributes to the development of the air transportation sector and the promotion of products of the domestic aircraft industry.
