2023: The government allocates another 5 billion rubles to state corporations due to the loss of its income from servicing foreign airlines

The Government of the Russian Federation allocates another 5 billion rubles to the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "State Air Traffic Management Corporation" (GC for ATM, subordinate to the Federal Air Transport Agency) for continuous maintenance of flights over the territory of the country. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced this at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on May 25, 2023.

According to him, these funds will help ensure the proper level of flight safety and maintain a highly qualified team. Mishustin noted that assistance to the aviation industry remains one of the priority areas of the government's work.

As noted by Interfax, previously the bulk of the income of the Group of Companies for ATM was provided by the service of foreign airlines. After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of their flights through the airspace of the Russian Federation dropped sharply, which led to the financial difficulties of the Civil Code. The situation was aggravated by sanctions against the Russian Federation after the start of a military operation in Ukraine: a number of foreign carriers suspended flights to Russia, almost all, except for Chinese ones, no longer fly through it in transit.

Since November 2022, the company has increased fees for air navigation of Russian airlines by 60%, foreign - by 40%. According to the order of the Federal Antimonopoly Service, the rates were valid until the end of March 2023, from April 1, 2023 they increased by another 10%.^[1]
