According to the regional authorities, airships will help make the Arctic territories more accessible and facilitate the process of providing these areas with food
YAKUTSK, February 4. /tass/. The authorities of Yakutia are considering launching an airship for the accessibility of remote Arctic territories. This was announced on Friday by the chairman of the Government of the republic Andrey Tarasenko on the air of the Yakutia-24 TV channel.
"Today we are working on the issue of the airship. And I think in 2023 we will have the first airship to communicate with the uluses (districts - approx. TASS), up to the point that this is passenger transportation," Tarasenko said, answering the question of the availability of Arctic territories and providing them with food.
He noted that by 2030 it is planned to create 13 trade and logistics centers for the implementation of the northern import program in the Arctic territories. In 2021, two such centers were opened in the villages of Ust-Kuige and Belaya Gora. According to him, small aircraft was used to solve logistics, which allowed to reduce the cost of imported products. "One of such tasks now for us is to strengthen everything, expand the names, make a stock regime," Tarasenko said.
The Arctic zone of the Russian Federation includes 13 districts of Yakutia: Abysky, Allaikhovsky, Anabarsky, Bulunsky, Verkhnekolymsky, Verkhoyansky, Nizhnekolymsky, Zhigansky, Momsky, Oleneksky, Srednekolymsky, Ust-Yansky and Even-Bytantaysky.
