August 14, 2001, Zhukovsky, The Moscow Region

While addressing the opening gala, Mr Putin said that Russia was ready for honest competition in the world aerospace market. Russia had something to take pride in, with its old aviation traditions, though recent economic hardships could not but hit the aerospace industry. The opening MAKS show came as a token of its revival, with a record-setting number of participants—512 companies from 34 countries.
