Repaired Syrian Il-76T aircraft

A photo of the past overhaul on the technical base of JSC "Aviation Complex named after S.V. Ilyushin "in the Zhukovsky transport plane Il-76T, formally owned by the Syrian state airline Syrian Arab Airlines. This aircraft was built in 1980 (the Syrian registration number YK-ATB, serial number 093421619, serial number 16-05) was repaired in Zhukovsky from the beginning of 2017 and was returned to operation in March 2018, being one of the three Il-76s located in operation from Syrian Arab Airlines and actively used for transportation between Syria and Russia.



In 1980-1981, the Syrian Air Force received from the USSR four IL-76M military transport aircraft of new construction, which were then put under operation in the 1990-2000s under the flag of the Syrian Arab Airlines Syrian Arab Airlines and nominally renamed as civilian Il-76T. Currently, under the signboard of Syrian Arab Airlines, three of these IL-76T vehicles (registration of YK-ATA, YK-ATB and YK-ATD) fly actively, and YK-ATC has been stored in Damascus for a long time. Earlier in 2015-2016 on the technical base of JSC "Aviation Complex named after S.V. Ilyushin "in Zhukovsky was overhauled aircraft with the registration of YK-ATD (serial number 0013431915, serial number 23-09).

In the fall of 2015, the Russian side handed over to the Syrian Air Force nominally two IL-76MD military transport aircraft from the Russian VCS, but both retain Russian registration numbers (RA-76634 and 76639), and apparently continue to be operated with Russian crews .

Crimea's head also recalled the readiness of the ports of the region to implement the plans for the establishment of a Crimean-Syrian steamship company

DAMASCUS, October 15. /TASS/. Syria and Russia’s Republic of Crimea are looking at opening direct air service, Crimea’s head, Sergei Aksyonov, said on Monday.

He also said that the Crimean portы are ready to implement the plans for the establishment of a Crimean-Syrian steamship company. "We are beginning this work," he said. "Some ports need to be adjusted to receive vessels with deeper draught. When the actual agreement is signed, it will be clear what kind of vessels are in question and what they will transport."

According to Aksyonov, it is too early to say now which companies could take part in the modernization of Crimean ports. "So far, I am not ready to say who will implement modernization projects. I think Russian companies are quite capable of doing this," he noted.

Turnover between Russia, Syria may reach $1 bln in coming years

In 2017, the turnover between Syria and Russia was about $380 million

DAMASCUS, October 15. /TASS/. Turnover between Russia and Syria may reach a billion dollars in the next two years, co-chairman of the Yalta International Economic Forum organizing committee and member of Crimea’s delegation to Syria Andrei Nazarov stated on Monday.

"Russian business would like to build relations with Syria," he said. "We hope that in the next few years the turnover between our countries will reach the pre-war level. Already in a year or two we plan to reach the turnover of at least one billion dollars in the areas discussed today."

The main areas of economic cooperation discussed by the Crimean delegation in Syria are deliveries of railway and electrical equipment, grains and flour, as well as Syrian phosphates.

In 2017, the turnover between Syria and Russia was about $380 million. In the first eight months of 2018 it has reached $276 million.

It is expected that the economic cooperation between Russia and Syria will expand due to the creation of a joint Russian-Syrian economic company that would facilitate stable trade between Crimea and Syrian ports of Latakia and Tartus.
