According to experts “MK”, the pandemic of coronavirus most domestic airlines will eventually be ruined and will forever remain on the ground. And we will take you on horse-drawn carts, will strike, so to speak, on the road and sloppiness.
Actually, planes have to stay in the air for 80-90 % of their period of operation. Free you can find the flight schedule medium-range airliner for the day. 6 flights! Long-haul (say, Moscow-Hanoi-Moscow) 2 flights! Changing crews and flight attendants, and the Board remains the same. Refueled, loaded and in the air.
the Plane makes money and profit only when it is in flight. But with this, the Russian civil aviation (and not only Russian) are in big trouble. The pandemic coronavirus almost all Airliners almost two months, “sunbathe” on the ground.
the Airlines are huge losses. You need to invest in maintenance of aircraft and ground vehicles operations. Is there a possibility of the shortage of funds?
Given such a serious crisis in the aviation industry, in April Vladimir Putin has promised to allocate to airlines to support 23 billion. According to experts, it is necessary 150, almost five times more! Because in addition to the ongoing costs of maintenance of the airline in the currency to pay for the leasing of “Boeing” and “Airbus”. Spare parts – also for the currency.
How much you need to have currency to keep the industry “on the wing”?!
Airports, where today “sat” almost the entire fleet of the country, living at the expense of the airlines. So, ground services, too, there is no money to maintain its infrastructure…
Involuntarily the question arises: when the quarantine will be lifted and the sky will open for flights all over the world, whether our airlines are ready to ensure safety?
– If the plane does not fly, it does not mean that it just left, forgot about it. Nothing of the kind,- said Aviaexport Sergey Melnichenko.- There are certain rules that carry out the preservation of ships in long-term Parking lot. This is not a “Lada”, which the winter has left under the snow and spring can’t start the engine. All work is done according to strict instructions.
With this view agrees the experienced pilot in the resignation of Sergei Knyshov. The emphasis he offers to put in another way. Not about the technical condition of the fleet is now necessary to think. Here all the problems and solve operational, the aircraft without compromising flight characteristics can be on the ground long enough.
– a Huge problem in the other, he says. In the airlines we have all the time in the leasing of foreign aircraft – Boeings and Airbuses. The lessor they pay huge, just narodjennya moneyI. According to my most conservative estimate “Victory” in a month must remit the rent boards for about $ 12 million. Such payments will bankrupt our airlines. Those associated with the industry, went bankrupt. In Russia they are 7 or 8. The state due to the fall in oil prices means too much no, it will selectively support the most basic, 10 pieces. The rest will simply disappear.
– what are we going to fly? Somehow got used already: here today and gone tomorrow.
– For this question the answer can be found in “MK” from 10 years ago. Then, in an interview I said that we need to rebuild their aviation industry, to abandon the procurement and execution of leasing foreign aircraft.
We left from the domestic one and the SILT, because of the one flight they had “eaten” half a ton of kerosene more foreign ships. We, an oil-producing country! We have that oil is not enough? Calculate that it is cheaper for us millions of jobs in the aviation industry, taxes from them in the budget or the ton of kerosene?! But it would have been with his fleet and no bankruptcy today, we would not be threatened.
Maybe, after a coronavirus shake our government will throw cry about aviation “import substitution”? In agriculture seems to be pretty good. And that, too, all legs Bush was hoping…
