Rosaviatsia wants to extend the subsidy program airlines until September, increasing the compensation for each lost amid COVID-19 passenger to 840 RUB. Now it is 365 rubles, and at the current rate of decline in passenger traffic, the company couldn’t choose the whole amount of state support until the end of July. Carriers and experts insisted on the growth rate to 1.1 to 1.3 thousand. In fact, such a bet, with the multiplying coefficient, can get the big domestic carriers, while Charter airlines will have to settle for a lower amount of subsidies.Rosaviatsia wants to extend the subsidy program airlines until September, and to adjust its parameters. In particular, it is proposed to include in the list of reimbursable maintenance costs of the Park aircraft and aircraft engines, and jet fuel. Just to help the airlines on the background of the pandemic, the government allocated 23.4 billion RUB under current conditions, the amount of monthly subsidy that can be paid to each airline depends on the amount of decline in its passenger traffic: a fixed rate multiplied by the difference in the number of passengers carried between February-July 2020 and 2019, respectively. Due to the given conditions of the airline are physically not able to select all their money before the end of July, as the rate of decline in passenger traffic in April-may exceeded 90%, and in the remaining months were below. In addition, the subsidy was supposed to be allocated evenly according to 3.89 billion rubles, which is equivalent to compensation for the reduction of monthly traffic by 10.67 million, although last year the whole month passenger traffic in Russia up to may not exceed 10 million people.The Rosaviation has informed that for today the decision on the granting of RUB 11.7 billion for 78 applications to cover expenses for commercial transportation, performed from February to June. That is, the airlines collectively received only 3.8 billion rubles— balance subsidies of RUB 11.7 billion to Increase subsidies to airlines for each lost amid COVID-19 passenger previously proposed in S7. There focused on the rate of 1.33–1.35 thousand rubles. and said that the current rate is now does not provide actual compensation, because it is based on nepretenzionnogo revenue per passenger compared to last year, excluding the reduction of tariffs. The same idea was at the Centre of industrial Economics of the Ministry of Finance nifi, where it was proposed to increase the compensation per passenger to 1.13 million RUB in There was talking about the maintenance costs of aircraft that airlines are forced to carry and now that part of the Park is idle, and the increase in unit costs of aviation fuel on the background of reducing loading of the chairs.In fact, this bet offers to pay ��Rosaviatsia, but not for all players. The office proposes to introduce in the calculation of subsidies multiplying factors. So, for large airlines, which for the 2019 transported more than 500 thousand passengers, while the share of flights on airlines is more than 50% can obtain the multiplying factor to the rate of 1.35 (this is just to 1.13 million RUB). This means the redistribution of subsidies in favour of large domestic players (S7, Utair), while Charter carriers will receive relatively less. Head Infomost Boris Rybak says that all of the experts evaluated the demand of Russian airlines with direct non-refundable subsidies up to the end of the year 400 billion rubles, and further the already allocated government funds do not solve the problem, but “better than nothing”. What is the effect of subsidies is negligible, can be seen at Aeroflot, said the airline takes huge loans and conducts an additional issue in spite of one-off subsidies received.Olga Nikitinka airlines are struggling to vyrovnyayut next
