There are more than 1,100 aircraft in operation in Russia, Deputy Prime Minister Vitaly Savelyev said, adding that all aircraft are absolutely safe.
"There are more than 1,100 aircraft in operation in the country. You know that we have not returned the aircraft, we are ready to pay and we are paying. Therefore, safety is constantly monitored by the Transport Ministry and Rosaviatsiya (Federal Agency for Air Transport - TASS). I want to assure all passengers that all aircraft are absolutely safe, components and spare parts are all ‘native’. There are difficulties in obtaining them, but we managed to do it," he said at the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).
