[caption id="attachment_56072" align="aligncenter" width="780"] An-12s[/caption] We plan to provide the northern remote regions with vital cargo and products and build a route network depending on seasonal demand to cities such as Naryan-Mar, Khatanga, Novy Urengoy, Anadyr, Pevek, Keperveem, and others. We are already seeing a positive trend in the development of small aviation and the restoration of small airports, especially in hard-to-reach places, so for our part, we will actively cooperate with the local administration and retail representatives to build air logistics. In March 2022, the Volga-Dnepr company reported that cargo airlines Atran and AirBridgeCargo had temporarily suspended operations due to previously imposed sanctions by lessors and a statement from the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority regarding the termination of airworthiness certificates.
