Russia is planning to slash the amount of funds it devotes to its civilian aircraft programs by nearly a quarter, according to reports that have appeared on Russian media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Amendments to the federal budget, if approved, aim to reduce subsidies for the acquisition and servicing of Russian-made airliners and helicopters from 101.2 billion rubles (US$1 billion approximately) to 78.8 billion rubles (US$788 million), a drop of 22%.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aircraft leasing companies and airlines are expected to be among the first to be hit by the budget cuts. However, industry sources quoted by Russian financial newspaper Kommersant<\/a> have minimized the impact of this measure on the industry, since Russian airliner programs, particularly the mid-sized MC-21 airliner, are already lagging behind schedule<\/a>. Therefore, those sources claim, practically no aircraft would be affected in the very short term. \u00a0<\/p>\n
