The Baikal aircraft is planned to be used on domestic routes
The multi-purpose multi-purpose aircraft TVS-2 DTS, also called Baikal, is planned to be used for domestic passenger traffic in Siberia, where settlements are located far from each other. This aircraft will be produced in Ulan-Ude to replace the outdated An-2.
This was announced on the sidelines of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum to news agency reporters. TASS Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Siberian Federal District Sergey Menyaylo.
At the moment, there is only an experimental prototype of the aircraft, but this year the necessary funds have been allocated for the transition to mass production. As soon as Baikal is launched into the series, it will be possible to determine on which specific routes it will be involved.
TVS-2 DTS is ideal for Siberia, first of all, due to low operating costs. An hour of flight of this aircraft costs 60 thousand rubles, which is noticeably lower than that of similar aircraft of domestic and foreign production.
At the moment, a long-term contract has been signed for the supply of 200 Baikal aircraft of the Polar Airlines airline from Yakutia.
