The Cabinet of Ministers announced this in his Telegram.

“Domestic air carriers will be able to continue using foreign aircraft.

The government extended the procedure for the further operation of aircraft leased or leased from foreign companies for another 2 years, ”the statement says.

It is noted that this will allow Russian airlines to maintain a fleet of aircraft and provide a sufficient volume of passenger air transportation.

“Domestic airlines will be able, as in 2022, to register ownership of foreign aircraft in operation and enter them into the state register within 5 days,” the government said.

Earlier, the head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov, said that mass production of the Russian MS-21 airliner with the Russian PD-14 engine would begin in 2025.
