The progressing economic crisis and consequent failures of financing vehicles as well as the rapid increase of aviation fuel prices could not but affect the operating activity of investment financial company that focuses on the aircraft leasing. However, we proceeded with the fleet optimization we had started in 2007 and kept owning just the youngest and most efficient planes. Thoroughly knowing the market from the inside and pursuing the chosen mission which consists in providing the domestic airlines with reliable, most comfortable and cost-effective aircraft we have decided to develop the regional segment of air transportation the increasing demand for which nowadays faces rather a poor supply. Avialeasing sees its prospects in implementing the projects of reequipping the domestic airlines with the new Russian regional aircraft Sukhoi Superjet 100 which we consider the only viable competitor to the foreign-made products at the Russian aviation market. The first move towards the goal was made at Farnborough Airshow, Great Britain, where in July of the last year we signed the Heads of Agreement with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft, CJSC for acquisition of 24 Sukhoi Superjet 100 planes. Realizing that the aircraft cannot be promoted at the Russian market without the high-technology maintenance support the Company has initiated and integrated the project of establishing the service center to maintain Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft in Perm region. The goals that have been set are decent and ambitious enough. On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank the management and all the members of Avialeasing’s team for their contribution to the work of the Company. Let me also express the hope that everyone of us will exert the utmost efforts to conquer the targeted peaks. Sergey A. Sopov President ANNUAL REPORT 2008 3 MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL DIRECTOR Dear customers, partners and colleagues! The last year has become an important stage in the life of Avialeasing Company. Amid the global financial crisis the Company optimized its fleet having cut the number of aircraft down to seven and kept the youngest and most ecofriendly planes which underwent modernization and met the up-to-date safety requirements to be provided for passengers and environment. By consistently implementing the strategy of development the Company launched a number of projects in the segment of regional aircraft leasing. This activity resulted in signing the Heads of Agreement with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company for the delivery of 24 Sukhoi Superjet 100 planes with the option for 16 aircraft; the event occurred at Farnborough Airshow in July 2008. On the basis of the conducted research the Expert RA rating agency evaluated the operating results of the Company’s activity and awarded the reliability B+ rating (sufficient level of reliability) to Avialeasing. During the year 2008 Avialeasing Company further improved its relations with manufacturers and suppliers of aviation equipment, promoted its collaboration with financial institutions and invested in education of its employees to let them upgrade their professional skills and therefore the quality of services rendered. I would like to thank all the employees together for their conscientious work and every specialist personally for the contribution to the development of the Company. On behalf of the personnel of Avialeasing Company, let me express gratitude to our partners and clients for their confidence and support as well as my hopes for further mutually beneficial cooperation. We will be pleased to render assistance to all the potential customers, i.e. airlines, in raising the efficiency of their businesses by updating and expanding their carrying capacities. Oleg L.
