“He loved Aeroflot very much: one of the planes of the Russian airline will be named after Zhirinovsky
Aeroflot will consider the possibility of naming one of its aircraft after the founders of the LDPR, Vladimir Zhirinovsky.
LDPR deputy Yaroslav Nilov told reporters in the State Duma today, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Vladimir Volfovich loved Aeroflot very much, praised this airline and very often used the services of Aeroflot. We hope that our proposal to have one of the aircraft named after Zhirinovsky will be implemented in the near future,” Nilov said.
He did not specify whether it would be a Russian-made aircraft, but admitted that Russian civil aviation is in poor condition.
“Do we have our own civil aviation? Unfortunately, for a long time we focused on aircraft that were produced abroad. Today, due to sanctions, we are faced with a problem when we need to look for parts, new aircraft in order to replenish the fleet, and urgently develop the production of our aircraft,” Nilov said.
