For the first time since the beginning of the economic sanctions, two Russian airlines have asked the Ministry of Transport for permission to return some aircraft to foreign lessors.

In this industry a successful global and longterm strategy would need to have favorable relationships with Western manufacturers and supply chain. Russian businessmen aren't stupid; even a suggestion or appearance of compliance might be enough to curry some needed good will, or, at least negotiations

I agree that not only everyone in Russia, but I would suggest that not Many outside of Putin and his cronies are in favor of the war in Ukraine. This article says that the 737 Max was never re-certified. Does that mean re-certified in Russia, because, it was, in fact, re-certified in November of 2020.

It may be that necessary changes have not been done required for recertification

Agreed, a level of pragmatism on the part of the airline directors - however small - is worthy of note. At some point, they will be back playing on the world stage and will need the services of Western lessors and aircraft. These B38M's are probably due for B or C checks at this point and their required software updates to return their airworthiness certs (plus whatever else has been neglected in the interim)

Exactly. If/when relation normalize again they don't want to have any outstanding debt for planes they don't use anyways.

If the aircraft are a pair of non-airworthy 737 MAXes, perhaps Russia feels the owner is the lessor of two evils.

I'm not in the air industry but I read somewhere that if some of these newer planes do not get the regularly scheduled software updates, the planes quit running. Also, the seized planes are certainly not getting their spare parts from proper channels so their service history is nearly worthless. It kind of makes their value on the trade market nearly zero. I'd like to know what the FlightAware community thinks.

This might be an acceptable place to start. It would require communication and planning,at least, and open the door to further conversation.

I think that instead of Asking, they need to Take them.

Not an assignment I would volunteer for....
Enter Russia with the intent of repossessing aircraft - bad stuff will happen
Actually getting to the plane, away from a gate or parking area, then fact ofsurface to air missiles - HARD pass.
