“The centre of development of small aviation was created by the Vologda Region Development Corporation. Its specialists will develop a strategy of the centre establishing relations with all participants of the process, providing consulting and information services”, explained the Vologda Oblast Governor.

Oleg Kuvshinnikov emphasized that the light-engine aviation market in our country only begins to be formed. Normative-legal acts do not allow carrying out full-scale private business or tourist travel and to travel in the air space of the country without notifying the relevant services. Someone needs to make the first steps in this direction. Why not the Vologda Region?

The prospects of light-engine aviation development are huge. These are the reasons which can boost the development of light-engine aviation - the long distances between settlements, inaccessibility of their site, big areas under crops demanding chemical treatment, fast development of tourism, the business demanding efficiency and speed of moving.

The potential of using the light-engine aviation in the sphere of national economy in our region is really unlimited. It helps to carry out the avia-chemical works, works on gео-, photo, video monitoring, forests patrolling, services of nature protection and fire-prevention, ambulance aviation and air tourism.

Today the maintenance of light-engine aircraft can be carried out in Vologda, Cherepovets and Veliky Ustyug. It does not require additional investments; the infrastructure was already built there. In addition to it, such cities as Vytegra, Belozersk, Kichmengsky Gorodok might also join the project as they have take-off and landing strips.

Vologda’s Governor is sure that the appropriate investments and the state support would help light-engine aviation become one of the most quickly developing branches of the national economy.
