Shrinking Under Sanctions? The Aeroflot Fleet In 2024

[@mpolicebhai6023]

I recently visited Maldives. I saw a aroflot 777 parked in a remote part of the airport. Not sure if it seized.

[@frutdafruit]

As a Maldivian, I can tell you that it wasn't seized. Aeroflot makes daily flights here (on B77Ws and A359s, though the A359 is a bit rarer)

[@vincenzoc.1781]

Good to know which countries collaborate with the theft of our aircraft...

[@TheScottbb1]

There’s an Antonov seized in Toronto Pearson haha. Ironically it was built in Ukraine but Russia likes to think it’s a Russian plane. Part of the reason why they’re mad. Can’t do much without pretending they are the Soviet Union. Put it another way California or Canada have similar GDP.

[@vincenzoc.1781]

@@frutdafruit Good to see which countries protect theft...

[@bashcony_osu]

I hope that the war will end as soon as possible, as fairly as possible, and the circus with sanctions will stop. I have been flying all my life and will continue to fly with Aeroflot, one of the best airlines in the world.

[@leegilbert7551]

Interesting regarding the maintenance of their fleet. I had wondered how this was working 👍

[@mmaximk]

Interesting update thank you.

[@user-ik1sc3fj9n]

Good , night to all of you from Jamaica

[@user-hu7zc4wf8f]

Why's nobody interested in two fresh 737-900er delivered to Rossiya in 2023? How after all sanctions it's still possible to receive new (nearly new) jets in 2023? Pls check it up, it's really interesting. Both jets have already been used and there're photos of them on planespotters with Rossiya liveries

[@ronjon7942]

Cuz they stole them??

[@pilotmaxim0079]

@@ronjon7942Stole them? From Indonesia😂😂

[@pilotmaxim0079]

Indonesia has not sanctioned Russia, therefore Indonesian owned aircraft were bought by Russian companies and could be flown in without no problem. Only western NATO allied countries have sanctions on russia, most of the world including Indonesia do not

[@osasunaitor]

737-900? Then those planes were not brand new, the NG variants (700, 800 and 900) ceased production in 2019 once the MAX variant production was fully established. Russia bought second hand planes to a third country, which is not surprising. We might see similar cases happen more as the sanctioned Russian airlines struggle to find aircraft in the future.

[@user-hu7zc4wf8f]

@@osasunaitor it's still strange that it's possible for fully sanctioned country to buy a nearly new (5 years I think is almost new) 737-900er from Indonesia airline without triggering secondary sanctions to Lion Air for those decisions. If we talk about creating spare parts hunger, why it's impossible to create new aircrafts hunger? Russia will begin wholesale purchasing of nearly new planes to support its fleet in flying conditions... and then other third parties will buy previous Russian jets that need maintenance as cheap variant of starting business. All this doesn't look like effective sanctions if it's still possible for Russia to buy 5-year 737-900er)))

[@EpicThe112]

Looks like it will shrink even further and from what I can see if they are directly least from another carrier they would be returned to the rightful owner. Likewise if SU had B777-3B5/ER B777-367/ER B777-3F6/ER in the fleet list from another carrier that they would have been returned to the original owners Korean Air Philippine Airlines and Cathay Pacific. I wonder if IL-96-400M will join the fleet.

[@neodym5809]

Russia has seized least aircrafts and is not giving them back.

[@egamer1044]

Probably will once it's certified.

[@PlaneBURATINO]

@EpicThe112 no, IL-96-400M is only for president and government, I know it because I am Russian. Aeroflot is waiting for Tu-214, SJ-100 and MS-21, but manufacturers which produce them always say different years of starting giving planes to airlines. And I really don’t understand, what will they do with long-haul planes.

[@GeneralGayJay]

How is Russia ever going to regain the trust to ever lease anything again.

[@RayHikes]

I guess it will depend on how the Russian carriers handle this after the war is over and sanctions are lifted. The airlines may strike a deal with the leasing companies so that the planes can be used on international routes again, as long as the sanctions are lifted at some point.

[@hewhohasnoidentity4377]

​@@RayHikesthe current fleet will never be able to operate in the EU or US. The maintenance has not been done legally.

[@BlackPhantom_II]

@@hewhohasnoidentity4377They will be able to fly back in the EU and US only if the sanctions drop. besides only reason why aeroflot is doing it is literally because of the sanctions themselves

@di_har Yes Boeing has significant problems but it will nothing compare to Russian aviation. The good news is that many Russians will not be able to fly due to cost, especially retires.

[@max-dx8jt]

@@leonardgrant6876 The Russian government additionally subsidizes tickets for large families, young people and pensioners. Even without this, flights in Russia are not expensive, for $ 150 you can fly 8 hours from Moscow to Vladivostok (this is the price with two pieces of luggage). A flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg costs about $ 20-40, low-cost airlines often hold promotions, so it is quite possible to "catch" tickets for $ 9. Don't believe the propaganda, now I'm calling the real state of things. Russia is not a poor country, we do not drink vodka every day and do not ride bears while playing the balalaika! Yes, as everywhere else, there is corruption, but we are fighting it. Russians want peace!

[@flyingdolphin6290]

how can a sanction be undermined?😂😂 but to be fair, what do we expect from them anyway

[@pilotmaxim0079]

The majority of the world has not sanctioned Russia, only western nato allied countries have allied to the US. Parts purchesed by let’s say an Indian, Saudi arabian or thai airline could then be resold there to Russia, or simply the Russian airline buys it through a company which is not in a nato allied country

[@jukkaaho7962]

So sad to read that sanctions are so easily broken by circulating parts. There should be secondary sanctions to those countries than enable that.

[@user-ho6ng1gw4x]

You live in a fantasy. Real world’s value is profit. That is why west countries still trade with Russia, and above all Poland, Estonia and Latvia

[@andrewkondrash1642]

All sanctions against Russia are complete idiocy. They did not stop Russia and the Russians continue as if nothing had happened. It seems the West has greatly overestimated its capabilities. Now China is convinced of the capabilities and weaknesses of the West.

[@pilotmaxim0079]

They didn’t steal any, they ordered them, paid for them and got them delivered

[@osasunaitor]

​​@@pilotmaxim0079they stole aircraft that weren't theirs. The leasing companies, rightful owners of the aircraft, claimed them back but Russia kept them against their will. That's called stealing no matter what the Russian propaganda tells you. If I lend you my plane and when I ask you to return it you keep it for yourself you are a thief, simple.

[@Pheorize]

​@@pilotmaxim0079No, they leased most of them and when the sanctions set in the (mostly) western leasing companies had to take them back. But Russia of course didn't do that, rather they re-registered them in Russia instead, which then caused most of the world (including China) didn't trust that these planes were safe enough and forbid them from flying in their airspace.

[@shamai2408]

​@Pheorize they leased them and were paying for them, just because sanctions said to take the planes back that doesn't mean that aeroflot got to obey to this breach of contract. They were paying for them. And actually bought the 777 and a330 from the leasing companies. So no theft there.

@@pandaDotDragon I read your message and completely understood your point of view I have been following this topic since 2014 and even earlier than that, I have spoken to countless refugees from Ukraine and especially the effected Luhansk and Donetsk areas and I have heard what they had to say which completely contradicts your views and the media's views. The people of Luhansk and Donetsk have been constantly bombed by the Ukrainian armed forces and heavily abused. The independent Luhansk people's republic and Donetsk people's republic sent letters to Russia to interfere and protect them from such attacks, which they are currently doing and will continue doing until the armed forces of Ukraine are demilitarized. This is not even what I think, this is what the people who are most effected by this think. If you do not have the capacity nor the experience with this situation you should not be commenting about nobody asking for liberation, because they did ask. I suggest you do your proper research on this topic and I also suggest reading unbiased media or at least asking people from the country. Talking out of your knowledge purely obtained through the mainstream media is a sign of low intelligence and government compliance.
