MOSCOW, January 21, 2004. /RIA Novosti/. Vladimir Putin is dissatisfied with the speed of the development of civil aviation in Russia.
"The government's decisions on this issue are not rapidly implemented," the Russian President told Transport Minister Sergei Frank.
"It is necessary to boost this work, moreover, there are no contradictions in the government," Putin said.
In 2003 the volume of transportation in civil aviation grew by 9 percent, Frank noted. "We received 18 new planes" for the first time since the 1990s, the Transport Minister said.
In addition, Sergei Frank reminded Vladimir Putin on the contract on the construction of six IL-96 planes signed by the Ilyushin Finance and the Voronezh aircraft factory.
