Western aircraft of Russian airlines, subject to the performance of work to maintain their airworthiness, can “fly safely” until 2030. This was reported to RBC by the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency Alexander Neradko.
Neradko pointed out that the ban on the supply of spare parts and maintenance of aircraft in companies from countries that imposed sanctions on the Russian aviation industry did not affect flight safety in Russia. He also opposed the use of the term “cannibalization”. “It appeared at the suggestion of those who have never worked in civil aviation and do not know that the rearrangement of serviceable spare parts from aircraft to aircraft was practiced always and everywhere, including in the days of the Soviet Union,” he explained.
The publication indicates that the leaders of the largest Russian air group Aeroflot and the single Far Eastern airline Aurora, Sergei Aleksandrovsky and Konstantin Sukhorebrik, also share the position of the head of the Federal Air Transport Agency regarding the service life of Western aircraft.
Aleksandrovsky noted that Aeroflot would be able to use Airbus and Boeing aircraft even after 2030.
According to Sukhorebrik, if the situation with the supply of spare parts does not worsen and ways are found to support this imported equipment, then the mainline A319 will fly without problems for another ten years.
