Aeroflot stated that a provider would carry out a wide range of work on the Airbus A330 aircraft in Iran. The RBC media outlet first reported on the maintenance in Iran. The airline noted that the firm has all the necessary resources, certificates, and extensive experience, and that the provider performs maintenance to a high standard. Aeroflot declined to provide further details or name the operator responsible for the repair.
Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February of last year, sanctions imposed on the country have hindered its airlines from acquiring aircraft, spare parts, or undergoing maintenance in the West. While Russian airlines continue to operate Western jets, they face challenges in importing replacement parts.
