During the pandemic, to support the industry, the regulator set a reduction factor for air navigation services in the region at 0.01 of the rate.
Rosaviatsia intends to cancel benefits for air navigation services in the Far East. This was written by “Kommersant”.
For the region during the pandemic in March 2020 set a coefficient of 0.01 rates. The total costs of carriers for air navigation increased last year by 68%, to 30.7 billion rubles. The airlines say that the abolition of preferential rates will affect ticket prices and may lead to a reduction in unprofitable flights to the Far East.
S7 believes that the reduced coefficient in the Far East already takes a significant part of the flight price, its abolition will affect the cost of tickets. In the future, this may lead to a reduction in flights to the region.
Ural Airlines noted that most subsidized flights and fares for carriers in the Far East have been unprofitable for several years. The abolition of air navigation privileges will result in an increase in ticket prices for non-subsidized categories of passengers and a possible reduction in the volume of transportation due to the unprofitability of some flights.
In April it was written that the airports of Nizhnekamsk and Kazan began to work in a normal mode. They lifted restrictions on flights.
Rosaviatsia and carriers will receive 1800 airplanes and helicopters by 2030.
