Ukraine should draw up long-term state aviation program - Danilov

He said this at a meeting on the development of Ukraine's aviation industry, the NSDC's press service reported.

"Touching upon the Ukroboronprom reform issue, Danilov warned against ill-considered decisions and stressed the need to preserve unique national production, scientific base and qualified personnel," the report said.

Danilov also stressed the need to draft a long-term state aviation program and provide domestic enterprises with state orders.

The meeting was attended by representatives of the largest enterprises in the industry. According to them, Ukroboronprom has shown insufficient efficiency in the management of state aviation enterprises and the hasty corporatization of individual enterprises without taking into account the principles of state defense policy can lead to negative consequences. Providing enterprises with state orders, preserving labor collectives and attracting investment in the latest domestic developments is important in this context.

Danilov stressed the urgency of introducing the post of deputy prime minister and minister for defense and industrial policy. Danilov said the key tasks in the aviation industry set by the Ukrainian president included, in particular, the creation of a national air carrier.
