The flag carrier inked the contract, valued at a trillion roubles ($16.3 billion), during the VII East Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia. Deputy head of the Russian government<\/a><\/strong> and acting minister for industry and trade Denis Manturov informed the arrangement value, which sets a new record for the local aerospace industry and air transportation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis agreement will become the primary one for funding from the National Welfare Fund,\u201d he stated. \u201cThe government will provide subsidies for procurement of indigenized versions of airplanes so as to freeze the acquisition costs for airlines to make sure our carriers would not experience additional financial burdens.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manturov explained that initial production airplanes will carry high manufacturing costs and that the government will cover the difference between those expenditures and the acquisition price for airline customers from the federal budget. \u201cAs production gains, we will reduce these subsidies,\u201d he stated. \u201cIt is extremely important to us to get the production going, to enable shipments to the agreed timetable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agreement, originally expected to take place in June, covers 2 iterations; the flag carrier raised the number of airplanes specified in its initial plan for 300 aircraft, 1st by 2023, and then by 16, which contributed to the delay. Having refused to accept the Ilyushin Il-96 widebody quad and the Il-114 turboprop, both of which Aeroflot had considered earlier, the airline instead opted for narrowbodies and regional jets, specifically 210 MC-21s plus 40 Tu-214s and 89 Superjet-NEWs, respectively. Remarkably, the number of aircraft ordered exceeds the size of Aeroflot\u2019s recent 183-strong fleet. Apart from the core company, Aeroflot Group<\/a><\/strong> also controls Rossiya, with 129 aircraft, and Pobeda, with 41, for a entire fleet count of 352.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
