In the conditions of the recent chill in East-West relations, the Paris Air Show 2019 gives Russia a rare chance to expose her key aerospace programs to the European public, as well as provides a convenient place for negotiations with traditional and potential customers including those in official delegations from about hundred nations. Among important ongoing developments are efforts to resume serial production of turboprop aircraft in the country, following termination of most programs almost 20 years ago.
