Additional funding from the federal budget will be allocated for subsidized air transportation for citizens eligible for benefits and those living in remote settlements. According to the Russian government, this amounts to nearly 306.9 million rubles. This will be enough to provide transportation for at least 44,000 people.

The source also recalled that the program for subsidizing air transportation for beneficiaries was launched in 2018 and currently covers 82 routes, including flights through Moscow, St. Petersburg, Sochi, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, and others.

Discounted tickets are available to Russian citizens under 23 years old, women over 55 years old, men over 60 years old, as well as first group disabled individuals, disabled children, and large families.
