The main aspects of creating a single far eastern airline through the development of a single route network, fleet and flight operational infrastructure of the far eastern region

The development of the transport sector and transport infrastructure of the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation is an important task in the economic strategy of the state. One of the priorities ensuring economic and social growth is to increase the air transport accessibility and aviation mobility of the region through the creation of a single Far Eastern airline. Among the most key aspects, the importance of preparing a unified register of socially significant routes and developing a unified route network of all 6 major airlines in the region, with the development of operational infrastructure, support technical centers, training centers for aviation personnel in Khabarovsk and Yakutsk, was emphasized. By the method of data analysis, the general characteristics of air transportation, comparison of the average Russian indicator of aviation mobility and in the Far East are presented. The elimination of this imbalance is the main goal of creating a single Far Eastern airline based on the principles of “unification”, “specialization” and “consolidation”. The data on the assessment of the required number of aircraft of domestic production through a single consolidated order are analyzed, which will allow loading the production capacities of domestic manufacturers of modern aviation equipment and completely renew the fleet of all project participants. It is concluded that the successful implementation of the plan to create a single Far Eastern airline will have a multiplicative effect in the qualitative solution of economic and social problems of development, increasing transport accessibility and aviation mobility in the Far Eastern Federal District.
