Ural Airlines will be able to fly for only two months.
China refused to supply spare parts for aircraft to Russia.
This was told by Valery Kudinov, head of the Airworthiness Maintenance Department of the Federal Air Transport Agency.
At the same time, Russia is looking for other opportunities for supplies.
Kudinov said that Turkey or India could start supplying parts for aircraft.
“Each company will negotiate on its own,” Kudinov added
Against the background of anti-Russian sanctions and without disassembling the aircraft into parts, the Ural Airlines air carrier will be able to fly for another two months. This was told by the technical director of the carrier Igor Poddubny at the MRO Russia and CIS 2022 forum.
According to RBC, Poddubny admitted that after analyzing the world market, it is possible to supply spare parts and materials, bypassing EU and US sanctions. The air carrier did not see a completely “black picture”.
Ural Airlines also admitted that a hacker attack was carried out on their website on February 24, after which specialists lost access to information systems.
For five days they had to work with paper media.
Recall that Ural Airlines has 54 Airbus aircraft leased, after the start of the special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the giant Airbus stopped servicing airlines from Russia.
As the media write, in the resolution of the Ministry of Transport there is a proposal to keep aircraft leased abroad on the territory of Russia. Russian carriers will be able to pay for the fleet in the national currency.
At the same time, Rosaviation transferred Aeroflot, Izhavia and UTair airliners to the Russian registry. We are talking about 180 aircraft. The agency clarified that some of the aircraft will be returned to Western companies, and the situation itself should not affect the cost of flights within the country.
