Og deler til disse flyene må enn så lenge kjøpes på det svarte markedet.

Det er tydeligvis et forsøk på å se fremover og ikke bli svartelistet av leasingselskaper når embargoen en gang tar slutt. Det kan likevel bli lenge til.
Finnes tydeligvis enda deler å oppdrive der borte Azur sin B767, RA-73032 fikk sprekk i ei rute i cockpit, men var i luft igjen to dager senere.
U.S. officials are pressuring Turkey to stop Russian airlines from flying American-made airplanes to and from the country, said officials familiar with the talks, signaling a new push in Washington to persuade countries to enforce sanctions imposed on Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine last year.
Senior American officials warned last month that Turkish individuals are at risk of jail time, fines, loss of export privileges and other measures if they provide services like refueling and spare parts to U.S.-made planes flying to and from Russia and Belarus in violation of export controls imposed last year, the officials said. Assistant Secretary of Commerce Thea Rozman Kendler delivered the message to Turkish officials during a December visit to Turkey, the officials said.
The warning to Turkey is a key test of whether the U.S. and its allies can succeed in isolating Russia over the long term, or whether Moscow can find a way to continue economic activity with the help of third countries that are central to the Kremlin’s strategy of finding partners outside of the West. The Turkish Foreign Ministry didn’t respond to a request for comment on the warning.
“At a certain point, they will have to take an enforcement-related action,” said Emily Kilcrease, a former deputy assistant U.S. trade representative and currently a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington. “Otherwise the whole kind of thing falls apart, if it turns out they have knowledge of violations and they haven’t been able to do anything to address it.”
The Biden administration imposed export controls barring Russia from using U.S.-made aircraft last February in response to the attack on Ukraine. The export controls now bar any aircraft made in the U.S. or those that include more than 25% U.S.-controlled parts from flying into Russia or Belarus without a license issued by the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security.
The United States is pressuring Türkiye to stop Russian and Belarusian airlines from operating flights on Boeing aircraft, sources close to the matter have told The Wall Street Journal, as Washington seeks to enforce sanctions imposed on Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine last February.
The sources said that senior US officials warned last month that individuals in Türkiye face fines, prison terms, loss of export privileges, and other punishments if they continue to refuel and supply spare parts to American-made planes flying to and from Russia and Belarus.
And while flights to China are taking up to three hours longer because of the overflight ban, not having to pay Russian charges has been “more than offsetting the increased costs that we were incurring on longer flights”, Smith states.
I følge Air France-KLM sjefen er det ikke så ille å måtte fly rundt Russland ti Kina, da selv om flyturen blir lenger så sparer de store summer på å slippe betale russiske overflyvningsavgifter

Ikke noe argument for «Russland»,
kan godt hende at den ruta skulle ha vært skifta, men det er vel ikke pga manglende deler at en flyrute sprekker, skjer jo med vestlige selskaper jo ukentlig også…
Ja, men utfordringen etterhvert kan jo bli å få tak i nye ruter
