Vitaly Savelyev took part in the final board meeting of the Federal Air Transport Agency
Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev attended the final board meeting of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia). Also attending were Transport Minister Andrei Nikitin, the leadership of the relevant committees of the Federation Council and the State Duma, representatives of the professional aviation community, and veterans and distinguished industry professionals.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that aviation remains the country's primary means of connectivity and its international presence. "The industry has proven its resilience to external challenges. By 2025, Russian airlines carried approximately 109 million passengers. First and foremost, I would like to thank the airline and airport teams for the results achieved and their coordinated efforts," noted Vitaly Savelyev.
In accordance with the President's directive, air mobility is to be increased by 2030. To this end, air transport infrastructure is being developed. The Deputy Prime Minister recalled that, as part of the national project "Efficient Transport System," new facilities were commissioned at seven airfields in 2025. By 2030, it is planned to reconstruct or construct at least 75 airfields.
"It's important to utilize modern public-private partnership mechanisms. Three of the 28 planned concessions have already been signed under the national project. We must ensure the plan's implementation in collaboration with airport holding companies and the regions," emphasized Vitaly Savelyev.
A key factor in achieving the President's goal of increasing aviation mobility is the renewal of airline fleets with domestically produced aircraft. The Tu-214 has already been certified. The Il-114 regional jet is in the final stages of certification. Certification flights of the Superjet and MS-21 aircraft, equipped with domestically produced PD-8 and PD-14 engines, are being actively conducted.
Particular attention is being paid to the development of unmanned technologies. Today, Russia is among the world leaders in their implementation. The national project "Unmanned Aircraft Systems" is developing a regulatory framework and creating conditions for the safe and large-scale use of drones in various economic sectors.
Class H airspace was introduced in 2025. This marked a significant step for the further development of the industry and the integration of unmanned systems into a unified airspace. Over the past year, the frequency of drone flights has increased by 20%.
