By 2028, the investor will invest more than 200 million rubles in the terminal, which is planned to redistribute the region's freight flows to the railway.

The Omsk Region plans to build a new transport and logistics complex for international container shipments. The "Karbyshevo Container Terminal" project, costing over 200 million rubles, is expected to be completed by 2028. This was announced by regional Governor Vitaly Khotsenko on his Telegram channel, noting that the project has received support from the regional investment committee.

According to Governor Mina Akhverdiyeva, the governor's press secretary, the investor plans to build a terminal with a full range of container cargo handling services and, at its own expense, provide rail access. Completion is scheduled for 2028.

According to Governor Vitaly Khotsenko, the new infrastructure will allow for the redistribution of freight traffic to rail transport and increase the Omsk Region's export potential. He emphasized that the terminal will be integrated into international container routes, including those to China.

The rationale for choosing the terminal site, as evident from the region's description, is based on its transit location. The Omsk region is a major industrial and agricultural center, and the city is located at the intersection of the Trans-Siberian Railway, shipping routes along the Irtysh River, and federal highways linking central Russia, the Far East, and Kazakhstan. According to the information provided, the new Omsk-Fyodorovka Airport, currently under construction, will be an additional factor.

Regional authorities are linking the project to specific economic and social benefits. Vitaly Khotsenko stated that the project will create new jobs. According to the governor's official position, the project aims to strengthen the region's export potential. For regional companies exporting petrochemical and engineering products, grain, and food products, the terminal will provide modern infrastructure for cargo containerization. According to authorities, integration into container routes to China will open direct access to key Asian markets. Therefore, as stated, the implementation of the Karbyshevo project is viewed as a comprehensive step toward developing logistics and foreign economic activity in the region.

As a reminder, the capacity of the Freight Village Vorsino multimodal transport and logistics center in the Kaluga Region will double. DP World, one of the world's largest logistics operators, is interested in the Kaluga project due to the hub's strategic location for expediting cargo delivery to the Middle East.

We remind you what will happen to your taxes now

From 2025, all simplified taxation systems will be formally recognized as VAT payers.

But for most people, it's all about revenue for 2025:

• If the income for 2025 is up to ₽20 million, there is no need to pay VAT in 2026

Release is automatic, without applications or declarations

But: VAT on imports and in the role of a tax agent remains

• If the income for 2025 is more than ₽20 million, from 2026 there will be an obligation to pay (calculate and declare) VAT

Further the thresholds will be lowered:

• for 2027 – ₽15 million

• for 2028 – ₽10 million

What is important for export and international transport

The 0% VAT rate remains in effect for:

• export of goods

• international transportation

• transport and forwarding services related to them

But the monetary result depends on which VAT regime is chosen.

If VAT is mandatory, there are two options:

• Regular rates (22%, 10%, 0%):

– it is possible to deduct “input” VAT

– with a 0% rate on exports and international transportation, VAT can be refunded

– more difficult accounting, but more profitable for logistics and foreign economic activity

• Special rates (5% or 7%):

– “input” VAT cannot be deducted

– even with a 0% rate on exports, there is no right to deduct “input” VAT, so a refund is impossible

– easier administration, but higher actual load

What special rates are available in 2026 (income adjusted for indexation):

• 5% – if income for 2025 is up to ~₽272 million

• 7% – if income is up to ~₽490 million

• above – only regular rates

The selected rate must be applied to all transactions.

And regarding the 0% rate, it is not an alternative, but an addition to the selected regime.

To use it, you need to confirm export or international transport with documents.

No documents within 180 days – VAT will be charged at the base rate

Experts predict a 10% reduction in the fleet, and consider the ruble exchange rate to be the main factor in demand.

According to RBC, Russian aviation will face a fleet reduction and demand pressure from household incomes in 2026. Route network development will directly depend on the ruble exchange rate: a strong national currency will shift the focus to international destinations, while a weak one will favor domestic routes.

Despite the persistent, challenging external environment from 2022 onward—sanctions, the closure of key markets, and the impossibility of legally adding foreign-made aircraft to the fleet—the industry is demonstrating resilience. Passenger traffic in the first three quarters of 2025 totaled 84 million, a decrease of only 2.5% compared to the same period in 2024. However, experts agree that the main challenges for carriers in the coming year are the gradual reduction in capacity and declining real incomes.

Fleet limitations remain the industry's main challenge. Aircraft delivered before 2022 are aging, complicating and prolonging their airworthiness maintenance procedures. Oleg Panteleev, Executive Director of the AviaPort agency, notes that the planned deliveries of new Russian MS-21 and SJ100 aircraft for 2026 will not be able to compensate for the fleet retirement due to the gradual ramp-up of production and lower planned flight hours during the aircraft development period. According to Alexander Lanetsky, CEO of Friendly Avia Support, the number of aircraft in operation will decrease by approximately 10% by the end of 2026. Some aircraft will be grounded due to exhausted engines, the complexity of their maintenance, and limited capacity for heavy-duty maintenance, adds Ilya Shatilin, Editor-in-Chief of the Frequentflyers.ru portal.

However, this won't have a significant impact on the industry, says Georgy Korolev, Project Director at ATK Consulting. Over the past three years, Russian companies have made significant progress in routine maintenance and repairs for major aircraft types. S7 Group confirms this trend in its commentary, noting the expansion of its engineering capabilities and the opening of the second stage of its engine repair plant at Sheremetyevo Airport in November. Since 2022, the company has repaired 401 engines, 335 of which were for other Russian carriers.

Experts believe it's unlikely that sanctions will be lifted in 2026, which precludes the legal import of new foreign aircraft. Alexander Lanetsky doesn't rule out the possibility that some carriers may attempt to import aircraft bypassing restrictions using the "Iranian method"—through a chain of shell companies in third countries, followed by the deactivation of transponders.

In the commercial sphere, the main risk for airlines will be a decline in effective demand. Oleg Panteleev explains that with inflation outpacing income growth, the share of citizens able to fly is declining. In response, carriers can either lower prices to stimulate demand or reduce supply, which seems more logical given fleet problems. The analyst believes that in 2026, airlines will try to maintain or selectively reduce prices to support revenue while maintaining a minimum profit. Georgy Korolev of ATK Consulting and Ilya Shatilin believe that prices will continue to rise, supported by overall inflation and reduced supply, but this growth may be curbed by a decline in consumer activity.

Experts note that the industry's profitability in the new year will largely depend on the strategy of Aeroflot Group, which controls more than half the market. Panteleev points out that if the national carrier, with its own repair resources, decides to maintain its supply volumes, it will be able to set a certain fare level that smaller competitors will be forced to match. Ilya Shatilin adds that the government's willingness to resume large-scale subsidy support, as it did in 2022-2023, could be a key factor in the carriers' financial performance.

No major changes to the route network are expected in 2026, but its structure will be sensitive to the ruble exchange rate. As Oleg Panteleev points out, a strong ruble stimulates demand for international travel, which both Russian and foreign airlines will respond to. A weakening ruble, on the other hand, will redirect traffic to domestic destinations, leading carriers to shift capacity there. The opening of airports in Gelendzhik and Krasnodar in 2025, as well as the hypothetical resumption of operations in Simferopol and Rostov-on-Don, could further shift the balance in favor of the domestic market. At the same time, experts note that smaller carriers will have to more actively develop regional hubs and seek niche destinations to minimize competition with Aeroflot.

Thus, by the end of 2026, the shape of the Russian aviation industry, as Oleg Panteleev summarizes, will be determined by its ability to adapt to rising costs in the face of fleet reduction and pressure on demand, while key trends toward import substitution and digitalization will remain.

As a reminder, Xeneta estimates that the global air cargo market will end 2025 with a 4% increase in traffic volume, but will also face rate cuts and a shift by participants to short-term contracts. LR
