Russia starts stripping jetliners for parts as sanctions bite - trying to keep their aircraft flying until 2025
Russian airlines, including state-controlled Aeroflot (AFLT.MM), are stripping jetliners to secure spare parts they can no longer buy abroad because of Western sanctions, four industry sources told Reuters.

The steps are in line with advice Russia's government provided in June for airlines to use some aircraft for parts to ensure the remainder of foreign-built planes can continue flying at least through 2025.

Aviation experts have said that Russian airlines would be likely to start taking parts from their planes to keep them airworthy, but these are the first detailed examples.

At least one Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100 and an Airbus A350, both operated by Aeroflot, are currently grounded and being disassembled.

The Airbus A350 is almost brand new.

Most of Russia's fleet of aircraft consists of Western passenger jets.

Equipment was being taken from a couple of Aeroflot's Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s, as the carrier needs more spare parts from those models for its other Boeing 737s and Airbus A320s.

Russian-assembled Sukhoi Superjets are also heavily dependent on foreign parts. An engine has already been removed from one Superjet to allow another Superjet to continue flying, the first source said.

Besides, Aeroflot was always known as the shittiest airline in Europe, but it was dirt cheap so I endured it once on a backpacking trip in college years ago. Never again. And that’s not even considering the cheap plastic chairs you have to sit in, while not being allowed to move from the area, for five or six hour connections.

In the USA, it's only a 68 week wait for the same parts.

At least we can still get them!





When China sends them.





Hopefully China will send them.
