    Russia: Opportunities in the Aviation Market 2012 Page 1 of 5 Russia 2013: Opportunities in the Commercial Aircraft Market Vladislav Borodulin February 26, 2013 Brief Industry and Market Overview The Russian aviation industry is controlled by state-owned corporations United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) and Russian Technologies (Rostech RT). The Russian government “strategic” significance of the aviation industry is explained by the integrative role it plays in the Russian economy. Due to its close relationship with other associated industries - component manufacturing and machine-building - the Russian aviation industry has a significant influence on Russia’s development towards a more innovative economy. The Russian government currently pursues the development of aviation through its state strategy “Development of the Aviation Industry for 2013-2025”. The program was approved in December 2012 and the total amount of funding to be allocated is 1.7 trillion Rubles (appx. $56.6 billion). The Russian aviation industry consists of the following manufacturing segments: aircraft, helicopter, aircraft engine, avionics, and air components. The industry includes 248 Russian enterprises. In 2011, total revenue was more than 608 billion Rubles (appx. $20.2 billion). The industry provides employment for 400,000 personnel and contributes more than 1.1% GDP to the Russian economy, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. As part of the aviation development strategy, the Russian government is interested in international cooperation on new aircraft projects and the transfer of Western technology. This is an opportunity for U.S. companies to get a foothold in the Russian economy and to engage in mutually beneficial aviation projects.

Humans have been inspired by the ability of birds to fly and have tried to imitate it. Birds first took to the air about 150 million years ago, while humans first began to share their airspace only in 1903. Unfortunately, when aircraft and birds attempt to use the same airspace at the same time, collisions occur. So, let us first define the term “bird strike”.

In the beginning of 2013 we divested the most risky of our segments – the commercial charter flights business. Once Avia Solutions Group completed the main stage of strengthening its presence in new markets, we felt that it was the right time to focus on further development of aviation support activities, including the MRO, aircraft handling and aviation training segments. Hence, we made a strategic decision to enter the helicopter MRO business by acquiring an already well-established MRO centre Helisota. Backed by the long-standing expertise of the Helisota’s team, we are confident that the synergy of our experience is a solid basis to expect a great future with regard to our performance in the global helicopter maintenance segment. KlasJet is yet another business which emerged within the Group last year. Unlike the commercial passenger airline industry, business aviation is much more stable and allows to achieve higher margins.
