Kremlin Commits More Subsidies for Superjet Operations
More than $150 million to go to government-run lessor

The Russian government has issued two decrees allocating financial packages worth more than $150 million to mainline and regional carriers operating within its territory. One, dated October 1, provides 400 million roubles ($6.1 million) from the government’s reserve fund directly to airlines flying within and from Russia’s Far East to other regions of the country, especially the European part. The second decree, issued on October 2, allocates the State Transport Leasing Company (Russian acronym GTLK) a subsidy worth 9.8 billion roubles covering the acquisition of Sukhoi Superjet 100s for placement with local carriers.
