Russia challenges international regulations and safety to keep its carriers airborne
MOSCOW, RUSSIA — Contrary to expectations, the Russian commercial aviation industry has so far managed to keep its business afloat despite western sanctions that prevented the country from accessing essential spare parts and maintenance services.

not to get in a tizzy over this: if these leased (stolen) western airliners were flying anywhere else for any western airline, then these happenings would not be happening,for proscribed checks and maintenence would be occurring. Any passenger on these hundreds of purloined passenger planes is assuming the risk and exposure, as it may have to come down to an incident or mechanical happening to make the jeopardy clear to the world. Injuries or even deaths will result, and a legion of "i told you so's " will reverberate. Who could have guessed being a passenger on stolen leased western airliners could equate to soviet army draftees also being place3d in harm's way, with similar defective or missing equipment. ironic, yeah....
Spot on. I do however appreciate their total lack of "Nanny State" laws. Folks know the risks, they get on...well...there you have it.
This "Russian" airliner problem, of what is essentially theft of billions of dollars of aircraft, and with Russia continuing to operate them with no factory support or factory parts, will reverberate right around the world, and the collateral damage will end up as many other countries problem.
Those countries who allow flights of Russian airliners into their airports are exposing themselves to major air disasters if a poorly-maintained Russian airliner falls out of the sky onto one of their cities.
There will be an upsurge in the trade of aircraft components and parts that no longer have any traceability. Safety margins will plummet and many Russian aircraft will be running with faults that would normally ground an aircraft elsewhere in the world.
And at the end of the day, these Russian aircraft will be worthless on the world market - except to those dodgy operators who will be keen to acquire a cheap Russian aircraft, that has a non-existent maintenance and repair history.
The rest of the world must be on high alert for these dodgy operators who are always keen to avoid or subvert safety systems that have been developed over multiple decades, and which systems ensure that we, as global-travelling citizens, can get on a commercial aircraft with a substantial degree of confidence that that aircraft will make it to its destination in one piece.
Not so, in Russia today, you really will be playing Russian Roulette if you climb aboard any Russian aircraft from now on.

this will continue until the first crash. then it will stop.
Get your geography right: banned from using the airspace of most countries except China, Turkey, former Soviet Union states, and some states in Africa and Asia.
Are they still flying above Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc?
