LE BOURGET (France), June 20. /TASS/. Russia’s United
Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will merge MiG and Sukhoi aircraft companies into
its combat aviation structural unit in 2019, UAC President Yuri Slyusar said on
Tuesday.
"For us, the year 2019 is the year when we switch to
the format of a single company, a single corporate contour while the division
will be in the format of a unit of the UAC single company," Slyusar said,
responding to a question about establishing a combat aviation complex based on
Sukhoi and MiG.
The UAC’s single legal entity will be established in late
2019, he said.
"We are working on this and we are implementing a
roadmap, which was approved by decision of the board of directors back at the
end of 2016," the head of the corporation said.
Russia’s Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov
earlier said that the MiG and Sukhoi brands would remain, even if a decision
was made on the companies’ merger.
