It is unclear when the European countries will open the border for the Russians, said the President of Russia Vladimir Putin at a meeting with the head of “Aeroflot” Vitaly Saveliev. However, he noted that the aviation industry suffered the most because of the pandemic. “Planes are mostly laid up, the crews also “on the ground” do not fly. It is unclear that will make our partners in many countries, including in Europe, yet they can not understand. And it is not clear when they will open their borders and territory to third country nationals, including Russian citizens, even in the summer holidays,”— said Putin (quote from the website of the Kremlin). The head of “Aeroflot”, said that the aviation industry is faced with a very serious crisis. According to him, in April, shipments fell by 95%, the chair was loaded at 33%. “It was absolutely a serious condition. It is very small if we compare with the 2019 year — we usually per day transported 110-120 thousand people. But we see significant growth coming, the Russians are beginning to fly, for us it is very important”,— said Mr. Saveliev. We will remind, on March 27-Russia stopped flights from other countries due to pandemic coronavirus. The ban on international flights has been extended to 1 August. The Russians, however, were allowed to travel abroad for work, study, treatment or care for relatives. The Rosaviation suggested to begin the resumption of international traffic with CIS countries.On the resumption of the flight, read in the material “Kommersant” “In foreign countries reasonable.”
