📋 Tender Overview
The State Duma adopted in the third, final reading important amendments to the Air Code of the Russian Federation. These changes, entering into force on September 1, 2025, introduce the so -called infrastructure fee at certain airports in the country. The main goal of this fee is to financing the construction and reconstruction of air transport facilities. Who will pay and how will it work? According to the new law, the infrastructure fee will be paid by legal entities and individual entrepreneurs engaged in commercial air transportation. The Russian government will determine a specific list of airports where this fee will operate. The government will also establish the amount of the collection, the procedure for levy, as well as the rules for accumulating and using the funds collected. The interesting feature is the possibility of combining airports into groups. Funds raised in the framework of one such group will be sent for the construction or reconstruction of the infrastructure of one or more airports included in the same group. The functions of collecting and distributing these funds are assigned to an organization subordinate to the federal executive body responsible for civil aviation. It is necessary to note that the airports by which concession agreements for construction or reconstruction were concluded until September 1, 2025, will not be included in these groups where the collection and distribution of infrastructure fees. The airport at the same time with the introduction of the infrastructure fee, the adopted law (No. 835253-8) solves a long-standing problem related to the registration of special equipment equipment. Now airports are allowed to register their special equipment for public roads. This will become possible after passing state registration and receipt of state numbers. Indeed, airport appliances were excluded from the federal law On self -propelled vehicles and other types of equipment. This created significant difficulties when it was necessary to move such a technique outside the airfield. The law is eliminated by this gap. It clearly distinguishes: the equipment located inside the airport transport safety zone still does not require registration. However, the technique that travels beyond by public roads should be registered as a self -propelled machine or trailer. This norm will also begin to operate on September 1, 2025.
