According to Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, 63 aircraft are expected to be supplied to Russia’s national carrier Aeroflot between 2023 and 2025 as part of the government’s subsidised aircraft leasing programme.
The airline will get 34 SuperJet aeroplanes with import substitutes, 18 MC-21 aircraft, and 11 Tu-214 aircraft. The National Wealth Fund will be used this year to provide 175 billion rubles ($2.5 billion) for the Aeroflot aircraft programme, according to the Deputy Prime Minister.
