Igor Chalik, Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation, said that due to the decrease in subsidies, the prices of airline tickets in Russia could increase by 15-30% in 2023. It has been reported TASS.
“This year, compared with 2022, the allocation of subsidies has not yet been approved: as you remember, it was 100 billion rubles. In this regard, we expect an increase of approximately 15% to 30% in transportation costs. Accordingly, it will be possible to reduce the number of flights,” he said.
Vladimir Poteshkin, Deputy Head of the Federal Air Transport Agency, added that approximately 82 million people are planned to be transported by domestic flights this year. At the same time, subsidies of 25.3 billion rubles are provided.
