On behalf of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation I am glad to welcome organizers, exhibitors and visitors of the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2009, which became a traditional and most spectacular event in the aviation sphere.
MAKS has by right earned a great reputation among specialists. Organizations that work in aerospace industry have a great opportunity to demonstrate high technologies in aviation and cosmonautics development, and also to acquaint professional community with advanced ideas and projects.
For transport workers this year is important in their own way: in 2009 we are celebrating the bicentenary of the Transport Department and Transport education in Russia.
In the context of such strategic priorities as formation of Russia in worlds leading economic power, the weighty matter of state is the assistance to fast growth of aviation transport industry, which plays a special role in development of our huge country.
I am sure that the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2009 will give additional impulse to development of native aviation technics, serve as the ground for expansion of mutually beneficial contracts, will promote implementation of high technologies and manufacturing of competitive products.
I wish all exhibitors and guests of the International Aviation and Space Salon MAKS 2009 great success, useful meetings and long-term contracts.
Igor Levitin
