Russia disassembles Boeing for spare parts: what the reduction of the fleet threatens.

According to inkorr.com: Currently, Russia is facing difficulties in acquiring foreign aircraft due to international sanctions. As a result, airlines are forced to use available aircraft to obtain spare parts for other aircraft. In particular, 'Volga-Dnepr' and 'Aeroflot' have entered into an agreement under which eight 'Boeing' aircraft will be transferred for the maintenance of other aircraft in their fleet.

Agreement between airlines

'Under the contract, six 'Boeing 737-800BCF' and two 'Boeing 747-400' will be transferred on financial lease to the subsidiaries of 'Aeroflot' – the airlines 'Pobeda' and 'Russia'. The sum of the agreement amounts to approximately 130 million USD and will be financed from the resources of the National Welfare Fund of the Russian Federation.'

The reduction of access to foreign aircraft may lead to a decrease in the fleet in Russia, an increase in transportation costs, and an overall degradation of civil aviation. This poses serious risks for the future development of the aviation industry in the country.

Thus, the agreement between 'Volga-Dnepr' and 'Aeroflot' may be a step that temporarily alleviates the problems with the maintenance of the fleet, but global restrictions and sanctions threaten the long-term stability and development of this sector in Russia. In the context of decreasing access to new aircraft, the future of civil aviation in the country looks uncertain.
