Russia - Trutnev: Far Easterners will be able to buy discounted air tickets from January

Russia (bbabo.net), - Residents of the Far East should be able to buy subsidized air tickets from January. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev during a meeting on subsidizing air travel in the region.

At the same time, it is necessary to limit the number of such tickets that one passenger can purchase, he stressed.

"If you do not limit the number, then it may turn out that someone will get a lot of state support, and someone will not be able to buy a cheap ticket. But all the Far Easterners should get the opportunity to buy such a ticket," Trutnev said.

Following the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Transport to further study the issue of adjusting the parameters of co-financing from the federal budget to subsidize local air travel.
