The sanctions, as well as the war situation facing Russia (designed, initiated and driven by Putin) have resulted in a shortage of spare parts for airplanes, fundamental to war, which has led to several airlines to begin to dismantle your aircraft to be able to face the lack of elements.
“Russia cannot buy new aircraft spare parts or produce them,” says EP Yulia Pavytska, head of the Sanctions Directorate of the kyiv Economy School (KSE). This will lead to the passenger figure descends significantly, in addition to the deterioration of the aeronautical fleet, as the expert explains.
If the figures of the Russian civil aviation fleet are glad, it may be better understood, Well, it consists of 700 foreign airplanes, manufactured by Boeing and Airbus mainly. In addition, according to the Russian authorities, the figure is expected to increase in at least another 200 foreign manufacturing ships that will have to be discharged and replaced due to the lack of spare parts.
Due to this reason, the country led by Putin tries to maintain operational airplanes More time than your useful life brandcausing fleet degradation and increasing its instability. “This indicates an attempt to preserve the number of airplanes, but with age, maintenance costs and the number of breakdowns increase, which increases the risks during flights,” says Pavytska.
Therefore, it is not surprising that so many “incidents” have registered, 208 to be exact, with this type of aircraft in the Russian Federation, which represents 29% more than in the same period last year, moment in which 161 cases were recorded. “It is likely that Russian civil aviation is already in critical conditions and that every year degradation does nothing but accelerate,” said the woman.
