Indonesia will launch the first cargo flight along the Northern Sea Route in 2027 Russia and Indonesia are discussing the conditions for using the Northern Sea Route (NSR), and a pilot flight with Indonesian cargo along the route may be launched as early as next year. First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov spoke about this during his visit to Jakarta. Indonesia, he said, is interested in diversifying logistics and developing alternative delivery routes. "We believe that the NSR can become an effective route for the export of Indonesian goods and the import of resources needed by the country," said the deputy prime minister. It is also important to remember that India is also planning to join the NSR operation. The Arctic alternative to the Suez Canal will reduce the delivery time of Indian cargo to Europe and the northern regions of Russia by about two weeks. At the same time, the transport hub of Murmansk can become one of the main supply channels for Indian medicines. To develop this area, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry has created a special council to promote the export of pharmaceutical products to Russia. As we wrote before, the Northern Sea Route is already faster than Suez, although it is still significantly more expensive. But there will be progress. Rosatom's purchase of 51% of the Delo Group looks like a logical next step in the development of the middle school. If a whole Russian chain of "icebreaker - port - container - ship - train - service" arises around the NSR, then the geographical advantage starts to become a good alternative option. MEF ב-MAX.
