SEP 27, 2005 (newstodate): Russia may take a softer stand on import of western-built aircraft now carrying a prohibitive 50 percent state tax.
Sources say the government may consider a more flexible stand, admitting the import, at a lower rate of taxation, of aircraft types not directly competing with Russian brands, especially targetting the market for longhaul aircraft.
