“The programme aims to reduce aviation accidents by two to three times and cut damage by 15bn-20bn rubles ($502m-$670m) annually,” he said.

“It will take almost the whole of 2010 to revise the air force regulations, but the bulk of documents would come into force as soon as possible.”

A high level of professional skills, strict observance of rules and tough punishment for violations, will be a key focus of the programme.
