The reason was the US anti-Russian sanctions.
Boeing Aircraft Concern (USA) announced the temporary suspension of support and maintenance of Russian airlines.
Also, as reported by Reuters with reference to the company’s statement, the supply of spare parts for airliners that are owned by Russian air carriers has been suspended.
It is already known that the work of Boeing units in Moscow has been suspended.
Recall, as reported the day before, the company that trained pilots at the training center in Skolkovo stopped working, and the Boeing office in Kiev was also closed.
As analysts suggest, the decision was caused by sanctions to restrict high-tech exports to Russia, which the United States announced against the background of a military special operation in Ukraine.
The European Union also banned the sale of aircraft, spare parts and equipment to Russia, providing insurance services and technical support to civil aviation courts of the Russian Federation.
All aircraft that Russia has received from Europe on lease must be returned within a month.
Also, as Topnews wrote, the USA, the EU, the UK and Canada have closed their airspace to Russia.
As RBC clarifies with reference to its sources, due to restrictive measures, aircraft engine manufacturers CFM International, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce, avionics manufacturer Collins, aviation equipment and interiors supplier Safran, as well as maintenance service provider StandartAero no longer cooperate with Russia.
