The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation intends to expand the operation of foreign aircraft. The department's draft decision refers to leased aircraft. The special regime may remain in effect until the end of 2028, the Yada newspaper reported, citing the document. It was prepared to "protect the rights of legal entities in connection with the actions of unfriendly states". A representative of the Air Transport Operators Association told the publication that the draft had been received and sent to the airlines. Responses from them are expected by November 17.
