RUSSIAN EXPERIENCE IN STIMULATING THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL AIR TRAVEL
The Russian Federation currently has effective measures of state support for regional aviation. Subsidies are distributed in the following areas: support for domestic manufacturers of regional aircraft with guarantees of after-sales service, subsidizing airline costs when paying leasing payments for regional aircraft, financing small regional airports and landing sites in remote and hard-to-reach territories united into federal state-owned enterprises, subsidizing and co-financing socially significant flight routes. Subsidizing air travel in the northern and remote areas ensures equal civil rights of the population to move regardless of their place of residence (social task).
