Cooperation between Cuba and Russia in the supply of aviation equipment (part 1)
In the February Bulletin of the Accounts Chamber of Russia for 2017 published an interesting report. Analysis of measures taken by the federal executive bodies and organizations of the Russian Federation in the framework of the Russian civil aircraft supply projects, related equipment and services program of civil aviation modernization of Cuba " . It contains some of the details of cooperation between Russia and Cuba in the field of civil aviation.
So, at the end of the 10th session of the Russian-Cuban Intergovernmental Commission (IGC) in November 2012. The program was signed by the trade-economic and scientific-technical cooperation between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Cuba for 2012-2020 (hereinafter Cooperation Programme). In accordance with this program as priorities of cooperation between the two countries in the field of industry in the period 2012-2020 identifies the following problems in the aviation industry:
1. Supply of the Republic of the Russian civil aviation industry products Cuba (IL-96-400 aircraft, the An-148/158, the plane MIg-21, Mi-8/17 and Ka-226T, Ka-32AK11VS "ANSAT", etc. .), as well as the modernization of previously supplied equipment;
2. The organization of technical support aircraft;
3. Implementation of the project of creating and equipping the aviation training center in Havana to train Cuban pilots to ensure the safety and economic efficiency of operation of the set of aircraft.
At the end of the 11th session of the IPC (24-25 October 2013, Moscow) The Parties recognize the desirability of developing Implementation Plan on Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation between the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Cuba by the Government for 2012-2020 (hereinafter Plan), including for the purpose of specifying actions of executives and the timing of the implementation of specific projects.
Thus, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Foreign Investment of the Republic of Cuba (letter dated 10 May 2014 number OM-1733 in the Ministry of Industry of Russia) for inclusion in the plan proposes the following points regarding cooperation in the field of aviation: To assess the prospects for delivery to Cuba of IL-96 300 and four Tu-204 Purchase of the second installment of An-158 aircraft for the national airline «Cubana de Aviacion», to continue negotiations on the supply to Cuba administrative aircraft An-158 model began to work together in a modular repair series engines PS-90A in the territory owner of the airport in order to avoid stops of Russian aircraft.
However, the issue with the delivery of the AN-158 aircraft dropped administration. As explained, Since 2013, IFC has negotiated for the supply to Cuba AN-148-100EA with superior cabin for the transport of senior government officials. Initially, the Cuban side were invited to supply the aircraft under finance leases, however, the Cuban side has announced its intention to buy this aircraft on the sales conditions. In addition, in the future in the Cuban side there was a preference to buy an aircraft of this type of production of PJSC "VASO" and not the State Enterprise "Antonov". As a result of a formal decision of the Cuban customer on this issue as of August 2014 it was missing.
Talking about the repair, it is noted that for timely repair work hampered by a number of circumstances.
First, (in Havana), a warehouse of spare parts and components, to date this has not created a warehouse despite repeatedly broadcasted the Cuban side of the commercial proposals to establish the responsibility of the airline «Cubana de Aviacion». The decision on the level of the Republic Civil Aviation Institute leadership of Cuba, the companies «Aviaimport SA», «Cubana de Aviacion», JSC "United Aircraft Corporation", JSC "IFC" in January 2010, the decision to establish in Cuba a warehouse of spare parts to support the operation of the IL aircraft -96-300 and Tu-204 is not implemented.
In addition, the continuing practice of delayed sending Cuban party failed units for repair. Thus, the Agreement on the procedure for fulfillment of its warranty obligations in respect of aircraft An-158 on 20 July 2012 provides for the obligation of the operator to send the failed product in the study within 10 days of receipt of the indication SE "Antonov". At the same time in 2015 we received 110 repair products out of time, out of which 11 products were in stock defective parts in 2011, 5 in 2012, 6 in 2013. Thus, the period of the delay in the areas of product repair is up to 4.5 years.
Refused in 2015 parts and assemblies were sent to repair the Cuban side after finding on the stock from one to three months.
Producer (SE "Antonov") repeatedly sent Cuban counterparts (CACSA, airline «Cubana de Aviacion», the company «Aviaimport S.A.») relevant inquiries about the delay in the direction of the failed units for repair.
For example, at a recent meeting at the time of the inspection, which took place May 25, 2016 in Kyiv with the participation of IFC, the State Enterprise "Antonov", JSC "Motor Sich", SE "IvchenkoProgress", as well as on the Cuban side: CACSA, airlines «Cubana de Aviacion», the company «Aviaimport SA», the following decisions were taken:
