Russia in dialogue with authorities of many countries on flights resumption
Moscow, May 19 (UNI) The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya) is in dialogue with the aviation authorities of many countries regarding the resumption of flights, the head of the agency, Dmitry Yadrov, told reporters on the sidelines of the HeliRussia 2025 forum. On May 14, following a meeting of BRICS transport ministers, the Russian Transport Ministry announced that Russia was ready to expand air traffic with the BRICS countries and open new flight routes. "Joint work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Economic Development on the development of international air traffic is ongoing. We are in dialogue with the aviation authorities of many countries. Many countries that have suspended flights are ready to resume them," Yadrov said. There are currently countries where Russian airlines are ready to fly, he added. "But we need guarantees that, for example, the servicing of aircraft from Russia will not be subject to restrictions that have arisen due to sanctions," Yadrov clarified. UNI SPUTNIK GNK

Russian airlines lost 58 aircraft in one year due to sanctions and accidents
Russian airlines had to retire 58 passenger aircraft in 2024. Source: Dmitry Yadrov, head of the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency Rosaviatsiya, as reported by Russian news agency Interfax Details: Yadrov explained that this was caused by accidents and the impossibility of repairing the aircraft. Currently, airlines have 1,138 aircraft and 920 helicopters, Yadrov clarified. As The Moscow Times notes, Russian civil aviation has faced strict sanctions following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The US, EU and other countries banned the supply of spare parts and ready-made aircraft to Russia, while Boeing and Airbus stopped providing technical support for existing aircraft. Specifically, the planes have been left without regular checks, such as the C Check, which manufacturers perform every one and a half to two years, and deeper D Checks, which are carried out every 6–12 years. As a result, domestic airlines had to repair Western-made planes on their own, resorting to "cannibalisation" – dismantling one aircraft for parts to repair another. Meanwhile, two-thirds of the Russian airline fleet consists of foreign-made planes, which account for 90% of domestic passenger transport. Another 150 planes are SSJ-100s, which are also heavily reliant on Western components. Background: Russian business representatives met with Robert Agee, the President and CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia, to discuss the lifting of sanctions in certain sectors of the economy. Specifically, the discussion focused on civil aviation, the supply of spare parts and components, and aircraft maintenance. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
