State support of the aviation industry

19
It's no secret that after the most difficult situation of the nineties, domestic industry, including aviation, needs help, without which it simply will not be able to restore the former pace of production. In recent years, the country has the opportunity to increase funding for various industries, most of all this is noticeable in the defense industry. New types of weapons of military equipment are being created and purchased, which also leads to an improvement in the state of enterprises and an increase in the standard of living of their employees. Of course, the growth rate is noticeably lower than we would like, but against the background of previous years, the available indicators look encouraging. However, not all sectors have even such successes. For example, the civilian aircraft industry, for all its achievements of recent years, cannot yet show its full potential.



Active state support for the aircraft industry began only in the second half of the two thousandth. Its volumes, in view of the then financial situation in the country, cannot be called fully satisfactory. During the period from 2007 to 2012, the aviation industry received about 250 billion rubles. It is worth noting that this figure includes not only direct payments to the accounts of aircraft factories and design bureaus. It also consists of the volume of government orders for civil aircraft, loans, private infusions, etc. It is easy to see that, against the background of current defense spending or some infrastructure projects, the cost of civil aviation does not look too big.

Interesting is the distribution of funds received by industry. Most of them - at least 150 billion - went to pay off old debts and things like that. In other words, most of the recent expenses actually paid for the lack of adequate funding in previous periods. At the time of the start of state support, only two Russian aircraft building companies had a full-fledged portfolio of orders, primarily export ones. These are firms "Sukhoi" and "Irkut". Other aircraft factories and design bureaus were under the burden of large debts and did not even think about deploying high-grade production. The construction of the aircraft proceeded at an extremely slow pace, and at some enterprises stopped altogether. For example, the Saratov aircraft factory produced the last aircraft back in 2003, and in the last years of its existence it was engaged only in repairs.

It is worth noting that only 70 billions and more of 150 were introduced into the industry as direct “infusions”. The remaining money was distributed approximately as follows: about 55 billion went to bond loans and more than 30 billion to refinance the debts of enterprises to private credit organizations. The money invested by the state and private investors had a positive effect. Perhaps the most striking example of this effect can be considered the recent successes of the MiG corporation. After Algeria broke the contract for the supply of fighters, this organization began a real financial crisis. However, 30 billion rubles received from the state, allowed to pay all existing debt arising from the actions of Algeria. Just a few years after the Algerian contract, MiG Corporation signed new contracts for the supply of aircraft worth more than two billion dollars. It is easy to calculate how many times the cost of these contracts exceeded the state spending to support only one aircraft manufacturer.

An example of state support for industrial enterprises is primarily the Voronezh Aircraft Company and the Aviastar-SP Ulyanovsk Plant. Only two of these organizations received a total of about 30 billion rubles from the state. In recent years, these two factories have been engaged in projects Tu-204, IL-76MD-90А and An-148. Transport IL-76МД-90А is currently being tested, other aircraft are being built in series.

Of the above 250 billion rubles, only 60-70 went to update production, as well as to create and start manufacturing new types of aircraft produced. Half of these funds went to the modernization of production and the beginning of some research programs. The remaining money was used to finance new developments, including the SSJ-100 and MC-21 aircraft. The latter is still under development and its first flight is scheduled for 2015 year. "Superjet", in turn, is already being built serially and operated in Russian and foreign airlines.

Finally, it is worth noting another method of indirect support for domestic producers. Until the middle of 2010, aircraft imported to Russia were subject to 20-percent duty. Further, the conditions of this taxation have changed, because of which it became less costly for airlines to buy foreign-made equipment. Despite the fact that some imported aircraft still require the payment of duty, the overall situation on the market does not look too pleasant for domestic manufacturers. As the abolition of duties in the future will affect the future of domestic aircraft, it is too early to say.

In general, the recent processes in the domestic civil aircraft industry look positive, but the pace of all positive trends is clearly insufficient. This is particularly vividly illustrated by the increase in production over the past couple of years. Over the past year, all Russian aircraft factories built less than two dozen aircraft. However, in the 2011, this year only seven boards were assembled. Thus, in just one year, the Russian aviation industry more than doubled the production of civilian aircraft, but the total number of aircraft manufactured remained insignificant compared to market demands. It remains to hope that in the future state support of enterprises will continue, and domestic civil aircraft will be able to gradually win back part of the Russian market, and then fully enter the international one.

      Perhaps this is not for long. The new aircraft, nevertheless, is more reliable and safer. When more of their new passenger planes appear, they will be purchased: it is unlikely that any passenger wants to fly to used ones.

      everything is simple: as long as there is no after-sales service, nobody in their right mind will buy "raw" aircraft, and even without preferences from the state.
      Well, the officials are adding "pepper" to this matter: at a recent conference on transport, it was announced that since Sukhikh-100 was produced less than announced, the manufacturer will receive a subsidy in the amount of (I don't remember exactly) something about 1 trillion. rubles. Manufacturer! Not to the operators who fly them and from whom all the main wishes and comments to the aircraft come from, but to the plant. The logic is more than strange from the point of view of adequacy. unless, of course, we take into account the rollback percentage, due to which there was a shortage of funds for aircraft

        Hort do not multiply rumors from dubious Internet sources about the Superjet
        In total, the Russian budget spent only 12,4 billion rubles for the plane and 4,5 billion for the engine (total 16,9 billion rubles). (In total, 2002 billion rubles were allocated for aviation over the period from 2012 to 462) For comparison, the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater cost 20 billion rubles, 35 billion rubles, the Mariinsky Theater 22 billion rubles, the construction of an electric train to Pulkovo Airport ~ 20 billion rubles.

          "... The Ministry of Economic Development proposes to compensate airlines for operating costs of the SSJ-100. The volume of subsidies can reach up to 1 billion rubles a year, in 2013 Aeroflot and other owners of Sukhoi Superjet will be able to expect a refund of about 10% of the cost of the liner." - quote.

      <<< I am not happy that domestic carriers are not patriotic. It is better to buy (lease) western used aircraft than their own. >>>
      Ever since the crackdown on young reformers, who first tried to destroy the Russian aviation industry, liberals-Westerners, patriots of Boeing, Airbus, and generally imported aircraft, who are obviously well sponsored (and with that you’ll have money for) and beyond talking about the need to raise the domestic aviation industry, they are doing everything possible to ensure that our aviation industry, despite the VERY considerable funds allocated now for its development, leaves I on the margins of the global aviation industry and could not interfere with the global manufacturers of aircraft, seized the Russian aviation market! Until there is an update not only of the equipment in the aviation industry but also of the PERSONNEL, which openly or secretly hinder its development, nothing shines for our aviation industry!

    If everything goes even as it is now, in 5-10 years we will have a different, powerful army, a powerful fleet, modern aviation and astronautics. The main thing is not to interrupt the modernization process. I think the Kremlin understands this well and "feeds" its real Allies, who will never betray us.

    other aircraft - are being built in series.
    18 pieces a year is not a series, but piece production.
    I work in the aviation industry and constantly monitor what is happening in our civil aviation. if briefly and frankly, then _opa so far we have in this matter. The program has, of course, been developed and some kind of development seems to be beginning, but: when they start with officials like Poghosyan and the Minister of Transport to ask for the implementation of this program personally, then there will be real improvements, not nice words.
    In the meantime, for example, we have practically nothing to fly in small aircraft, the regional leader is also in its infancy, and the MVL is 90% from Boeing and Airbus.
    As for the YYO-100, the aircraft is still raw and needs time for its completion and further modernization, the MS-21 is still not in the glider and at such a pace it is far from the fact that it will appear by 2015 (Officials have already recognized that according to the terms of modernization and the release of Dry and design work they do not have time for the declared time).
    And I also note an important point - you need to develop post-sales service at an accelerated pace, otherwise there will be no sense even with an increase in the number of new aircraft released.

    And who of you is ready, knowing all the problems of our aviation, such as poor maintenance of our equipment, counterfeit spare parts, insufficient training of young pilots, is now ready to support the domestic manufacturer and carrier with your money? Choosing what to fly on, for example on vacation, deliberately refuse to fly on a European carrier, but say to myself "... No, I will not fly to Lufthansa, I will fly to Russia! And I will not fly on Airbus, I want to fly on TU-204. " And also despite the fact that Russia is more expensive, a little, but more expensive.
    Which one of you is so brave ?????

      Dear, why do you put pros and cons, you would have answered a question. Where will you and your family fly on vacation, if you have a choice? Airbus or TU-204, Luftanza or Russia? I'll be honest - I prefer a European company. And you?
      Otherwise, writing beautiful speeches is one thing, and flying yourself is a little different.

        Although I didn’t set anything, I’ll answer - they were returning from vacation on a middle-aged Boeing - before takeoff, when they were already standing on the strip, something stopped, the engines went out, the lights went out, then everything worked, the commander apologized, but the flight was a little stressful. At that moment, I would rather fly on the new Super.

          The 62nd will not be returned ... I've loved flying IL-86, there have been almost no accidents with him all the time, I think there’s one without passengers. His chairs were really very uncomfortable. But he did not fall.
          But I'm a little different. A Boeing or Airbus falling into niches of caring hands quickly turns into ... Lada, figuratively speaking. For the same problems - the details, the planes are not the first freshness, the training of pilots and what the most rotten notorious fuel economy. Remember the TU-154 flying from Adler to St. Petersburg? The Turkish plane flying behind him turned around, and ours decided to fly through a thunderstorm - to save fuel. Saved ... ((
          I suggested comparing not only airplanes, but also airline carriers. Obviously, with equal ticket prices, trust is more to well-known European brands.
          And also, the European low-cost airlines are rushing into domestic Russian airlines, and to my mind is not unsuccessful, here they are, first of all our air carriers and then the aircraft industry, if not bury, then rather spoil the prospects.
          Here is some kind of picture of mine looms.

    The aviation industry in Russia now with great difficulty rests on the shoulders of production veterans and enthusiasts. Government support is urgently needed. But if the mechanism of this support consists in the uncontrolled transfer of money from account to account, then it will turn out according to Chernomyrdin: "We wanted the best, but it turned out as always"! You must first figure out the real, really working designers and production workers, give them money and ask for a report. And not as it happens today: first the money, and the chairs are not to be seen!
