Oct 27, 2008 (newstodate): The Russian government is reportedly considering a freeze on airport and airnav charges till May 1, 2009.
The moratorium will apply to flights on domestic routes only, and is considered an effort to help alleviate the serious crisis in Russia's civil aviation that is grounding several airlines troubled by overwhelming debts burdens.
The government is also urging banks to consider carefully means to help airlines survive the financial crisis by granting loans to carriers that are basically sound, yet unable to pay off their current debts.
