The Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation spoke about the maintenance of Russian aircraft abroad 21:21

The head of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, Vitaly Savelyev, said that some of the Russian planes are still in service abroad, the TV channel reported. “Russia 1”.

According to him, there are a number of countries that assist the Russian Federation in aircraft maintenance.

“But it’s not because we can’t cope, we’re just looking for options that we can serve more.” Therefore, yes, there are also options where the service is provided abroad.”

He also noted that 1,288 aircraft are currently operated in the Russian Federation, of which more than 1,160 are civilians. That number of planes was “enough to shut down all our traffic,” Savelyev said.

“If we carried 95.2 million people on a 100-million-person plan last year, it’s because 11 southern airports are closed, which generally handle around 19 million passengers a year. This year we have a slightly bigger plan – 101 million passengers. Although the airports are not operating at the moment, we are ahead with 1 million 400 thousand passengers in 5 months.”

Formerly Vitaly Savelyev declarationMore than 200 certified organizations work on aircraft maintenance, which is sufficient for the existing fleet in the Russian Federation.
