Russian aviation institutions and companies are transitioning to locally developed software solutions.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Grigorenko has spearheaded the Government's apparatus, overseeing a strategic shift towards the use of Russian software in key sectors. This move, initially proposed by Vladimir Putin, aims for an 80% transition of organisations in crucial sectors to domestic software products by 2030.
Industrial Competence Centres (ICCs) have been instrumental in facilitating this transition. These platforms bring together major companies and IT solution developers, promoting a smooth transition to domestic software.
The use of Russian software in airports and airlines is particularly significant. According to Grigorenko, it ensures the safety of citizens and maintains technological independence. Over 60 airports and 50 airlines, including international ones, have already implemented Russian software.
One such airport not yet on the list is "Komiaviatrans", but its owner has plans to adopt domestic software. The transition has already occurred in certain airports and airlines for airport check-in kiosks, baggage tracking services, and airline ticket booking.
Grigorenko stated that servicing airports and airline operations are areas where using Russian software is critically important. 81 "first wave" projects have been completed, including the "BAGS search" system for baggage registration and tracking, the "CUTE" software complex for passenger handling, and an aviation service platform. Most of these projects will be completed by the end of 2026.
The "second wave" of ICC projects began in May 2025, with 49 projects selected and supported. Most of these projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of 2027. Currently, around 200 significant projects are being implemented in Russia through ICCs.
However, specific reports naming international airports or airlines that have implemented Russian software products for check-in kiosks, baggage tracking, or flight ticket booking are not publicly available. Similarly, no precise timeline or data on the expansion through the ICC program's 200 remaining projects using national software could be found in the current search results.
The safety of citizens and technological sovereignty are key reasons for the use of Russian software, according to Grigorenko. The transition to domestic software in the aviation sector is, therefore, a strategic decision aimed at ensuring the safety of citizens and maintaining technological independence.
