This will hit Russian civil aviation hard: Boeing stopped working in Russia

Yesterday, the American company Boeing officially announced the termination of work in Russia, which stopped the provision of spare parts, maintenance and technical support for Russian airlines.

At the end of February, the EU announced a ban on the supply of new aircraft, spare parts to Russia, as well as the suspension of aircraft leasing. Experts expect that the sanctions could hit Russian civil aviation in the most serious way, given that most of the aircraft, especially long-haul aircraft, are leased aircraft from the American company Boeing and the European Airbus. There are also suggestions that Russian airlines may not return aircraft to lessors.

The United States announced the closure of airspace for Russian airlines on Tuesday, March 1. US President Joe Biden specified that we are talking about all aircraft registered in Russia, including charters.

On February 28, the European Union banned Russian aircraft from “landing, taking off or flying over its territory.” The requirement applies not only to aircraft registered in Russia, but also to those that are somehow controlled by Russian individuals or organizations.
