Thanks to a loophole: Russia wants to buy aircraft from lessors

Ermal Muji March 20, 2023 18:25

When sanctions were imposed on Russia, aircraft trade with Russian airlines was virtually cancelled. An exemption from the EU sanctions enabled Aeroflot to purchase ten Boeing 777s. The Russian Cabinet granted Russian airlines a sum of 300 billion rubles, the equivalent of around 360 billion euros, to purchase aircraft from Boeing and Airbus. However, according to the sanctions, Russian airlines are not authorized to purchase aircraft of Western origin. The airlines should consider an exemption from the EU sanctions in order to purchase additional aircraft. According to the exemption, Russian airlines can also purchase the aircraft once all installments have been paid. After all leasing installments have been paid, Russian airlines such as Aeroflot are also able to acquire ownership through a purchase. This regulation enabled the Russian airline Aeroflot to purchase 10 new Boeing 777s. The airline plans to buy 21 more aircraft in the future.

Turkey no longer wants to sell fuel to Russian carriers

Ermal Muji March 17, 2023 17:25

Russian air traffic to Turkey has tripled since the Russian war. The USA demanded that Turkey impose sanctions against the warring country, and Turkey is now complying: Russian airlines are no longer allowed to refuel their aircraft there. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, several countries have announced sanctions against the country, including the closure of their airspace. Turkey, on the other hand, has not closed its airspace to the Russians. After the war, the number of flights by Russian airlines to Turkey tripled. Turkey has been considered an essential country for Russia since the beginning of the war. However, the USA has been demanding that Turkey impose sanctions since the beginning of the year. Turkey has at least partially implemented this demand and has announced a ban on refueling Russian aircraft. For Russian airlines such as Aeroflot or S7, traveling to Turkey will now be much more problematic.

Ermal Muji March 17, 2023 15:30

Two pilots of the Indian airline Spicejet have been suspended due to negligent behavior. They are currently not included in any duty roster, and the reason for the suspension is that they left a drink in the cockpit. The suspension of two pilots of the Indian airline was recently announced and initiated. They are said to have left an open drink in the cockpit, which is considered dangerous. The airline became aware of this issue after photos made the rounds on the Internet. One of the posts showed the drink left in the cockpit, and investigations are underway against the two pilots. The investigations are in full swing, and criminal proceedings may also be initiated against them. Many airlines consider it illegal to leave open liquids in the cockpit.

Zurich Airport: 3D scanners are said to save time during checks

Ermal Muji March 16, 2023 19:31

Most people are outraged when liquids and electronic items have to be stolen from hand luggage for security checks. However, security checks of this kind will soon be a thing of the past - thanks to the so-called super scanner. Zurich Airport is planning to revise the procedure for such checks. When travelling, or before a trip, you know that the flight could take a lot of time - be it due to security checks or flight delays. But the first problem is now to be eliminated - thanks to so-called super scanners. These make it possible to avoid opening hand luggage during a check, so in future there will be no need to take laptops and liquids out of hand luggage in order to successfully pass the check. As Frankfurt Airport was able to prove through a test, this process saves a considerable amount of time. With the help of the new 3D scanners, it is possible to check significantly more than XNUMX passengers per hour. According to various media reports, other airports are also planning to introduce this in the next few years. For example, most Spanish airports and the United Kingdom are switching over.
