Russian authorities have called it “world practice” to scrap some aircraft for spare parts to repair others.
In Russia, they admit that they are engaged in “cannibalization” – they dismantle aircraft for spare parts in order to use the parts to repair other airliners. The Minister of Industry of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov spoke about it, saying that it is a world practice. On Tuesday, August 16, Interfax reported.
“Permutations [деталей] – this is not an invention of our Russian aviation, which operates the equipment. It is a practice in the world to ensure the rhythm of maintenance and operation of the aircraft: as long as the spare part arrives, if it is possible to use – I do not like the word cannibalism – but from other aircraft to ensure the performance of the fast flights, then this training always takes place,” said Manturov.
According to him, Russian airlines “just got used to” using foreign equipment, which is now unavailable due to sanctions.
“Of course, no one thought that decisions would be made from outside to prohibit the use of foreign products, which were offered to us so much, if not to say the word” imposed “, all these 30 years, ” said the minister.
He also added that now everything is happening as before, spare parts are provided, regulations and repairs are provided.
It will be recalled that on February 26, the EU authorities decided to completely ban the supply and leasing of aircraft, helicopters and other aircraft to Russia, as well as their insurance and maintenance.
And in March, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law allowing airlines not to return planes leased from foreign companies. In fact, Russia stole these planes.
