Session 2: Financing the Air Transport in a Recession
Air transport is an uninterrupted service. It crucially depends on continuous short-term lending for operating expenses, and on long-term loans for fleet upgrade programs and capital costs. Despite the efforts being taken in all countries to resuscitate the financial system, borrowing remains difficult and expensive.
What are the current state and future outlook for the global financial markets? How is the economic situation affecting the lending requirements? What are the most effective financing instruments available to the Russian air transport sector from national and international financial institutions?

As the remaining operational fleet of fuel-thirsty Soviet-built airliners is ageing rapidly and becoming prohibitively costly to maintain, more Russian air carriers turn to foreign-made aircraft.
