Description
Summary:The EU-Russia civil aviation market has doubled in volume in the last decade. It clearly has a potential to become the second most important market for the EU after its North-Atlantic counterpart. However, while numbers of flights and passengers have been increasing steadily, the dynamics of regulatory changes is low. The goal of this paper is to identify the main trends in EU-Russia civil aviation relations and to forecast their development. We come to the conclusion that it is of very little interest for Russian authorities to push for liberalization of the EU-Russia civil aviation market and as a result, liberalization will only materialize in small changes of bilateral air service agreements. On the other hand, cooperation of airlines and airframe makers will continue to develop rapidly.
