General Director of GTLK Evgeny Dietrich noted the importance of this transaction in the framework of the new national project "Industry," stressing that GTLK has already established itself as the main supplier of aviation equipment for regional aviation. The company's work is aimed not only at updating the airline fleet, but also at supporting the domestic aircraft industry, which is of strategic importance for achieving the country's technological independence.

UAC General Director Yuri Slyusar, in turn, stressed that the agreement forms a long-term mechanism for financing the supply of new aircraft through a state leasing company. This will ensure transport accessibility and connectivity of the regions of Russia, which is especially important for domestic transportation. As part of the import substitution program, the supplied aircraft will play a key role in updating the fleet of Russian air carriers and developing the aviation industry.^[1]
