They want to introduce a "utilization tax" on airline tickets in Russia from 2027. On domestic flights it will be 500 rubles, on international flights - 1,000 rubles. This stems from the conclusion of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes on the draft federal budget for the years 2027-2029. The mechanism is developed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade on behalf of the President. The measure is intended to "compensate the cost of leasing and operating" the MS-21, You-214, SJ-100 and He-114-300 aircraft, the supply of which is provided by a comprehensive program to expand the production of the aircraft. In September, Interfax sources reported that the airlines would begin including the fee in the cost of tickets for the SJ-100 and MC-21.
