APR 02, 2004 (newstodate): -By 2007 we expect a lack in capacity in the ramp aircraft market. This means that Russia has only two years to adopt a program of the ramp aviation support, said Alexey Isaikin, Volga-Dnepr Group president.
The forum was a special meeting last month of Russia's Civil Aviation Authority devoted to the 2003 results of social and economic development of Russias civil aviation.
-Our next target is reinforcing our leadership in the ramp aircraft market. In this field we can earn some USD 300 million a year, and in a ten-year period we plan to increase this figure up to $1 billion.
-To that end we have to revive the AN-124 production, to build an AN-124 flight simulator, and to re-engine the IL-76. Another civilized move is to use AN-124 military transports for commercial needs, Isaikin said.
