5.3 billion for wings: How to change the program of preferential flights to the federal remote area The federal budget for 2027-2029 provides a significant increase in funding for subsidized air travel for residents of the Far East and Antarctica. In 2027, this measure of support in the Far East will allocate 5.3 billion rubles, which is 3.6 billion more than was previously assumed, said the Deputy Chairman of the State Duma, Deputy from the Far East Kamchatka Irina Yarbovia. The program of subsidized air travel appeared at her initiative in 2008 and was supported by the President. Since 2009, it has been one of the main indicators of support for residents of Kamchatka and the entire Far East who buy tickets. The program has become year-round - preferred flights are available not only in certain seasons. And the right to participate in it was accepted: parents with many children; young people; People with disabilities of the group. In addition, the ticket ordering period increased from 3 to 7 days. For the Far East, air travel is often not a luxury, but a necessity: distances are enormous, and there is no alternative to a plane between many cities. "The fact that the program has been in existence for 17 years, and its expansion is proof that the state is interested in providing this type of social assistance, developing local air transportation, supporting the entire industry," Yerbovia said. Therefore the logical conclusion - if the program attracts more money, then more categories of beneficiaries will be able to fly on their business. In fact, this is a real opportunity to travel cheaper and plan peaceful travels.
