Based on the facts, it was first observed and verified through the journalist, or informed and verified from competent sources.
Two Russian passenger planes were forced to return to their departure airports because of engine failure after takeoff, according to reports, in the latest setback for Russia’s sanctions-hit aviation industry.
The Russian aviation telegram channel Aviatorshchina has reported that in recent days, a Ural Airlines plane had returned to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, and that a Nordstar Airlines Boeing 737 had to return to Volgograd after mechanical problems.
Newsweek contacted airlines such as Rosavisitia, the Russian federal agency for air transport, comments by email.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine spurred the U.S. and the EU to impose sanctions on Russia’s aircraft, two-thirds of which were manufactured by Boeing and Airbus. The measures, which include banning the maintenance of the aircraft and the supply of new planes, are likely to continue the deterioration of Russia’s aviation industry.
Ural Airlines said on January 3 that an engine had failed in its Airbus A321 flying from Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, to the Russian city of Yekaterinburg at an altitude of 13,000 feet.
The plane turned before returning to its output airport in an engine and the passengers were placed in airplanes this afternoon.
The images filmed aboard the plane were published through the 360. RU media and the flight attendees asked passengers “there would be multiple potholes when they land, remain in a position until new commands are made. “
A day earlier, a NordStar Airlines Boeing 737 flying to Yekaterinburg returned to Volgograd after it suffered an engine failure at more than 33,000 feet, Aviatorshchina reported.
All 164 passengers on the aircraft were transferred to planes that arrived from Moscow, facing delays of more than six hours. Banto Airlines said their planes interested in the incidents had been pulled off the road for technical inspection.
Ahead of the New Year, a Utair Airlines Antonov AN-24 turboprop aircraft flying from Roshchino in the Leningrad region at Krasnoselkup in the Tyunmen region effectively landed on December 30, has had an approach to the engine failure track, the Nashgorod Outlet reported.
Ural Airlines press service on January 3: “The crew of Ural Airlines successfully landed an aircraft with a failed engine.”
Rosaviatssia, the Federal Air Transport Agency in Russia, attempted to solve the challenge of maintaining passenger planes by allowing airlines to “cannibalize” their planes through the useful spare portions of safe aircraft to install on others.
However, sanctions will continue to wreak havoc on Russian aviation with the country’s advertising fleet of more than 1,000 before the war in Ukraine began, projected less than part of that number through 2026, according to analyst company Oliver Wyman.
Meanwhile, the threat to passenger protection may increase, with independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazyeta reporting that there were 208 aircraft incidents from the year to November, which is down from a third more than during the same time last year.
Even after the end of the war, Western corporations would possibly hesitate to do business with the Russian aviation industry because the country prohibits the rented western airplanes from leaving Russia, necessarily expropriating the planes, said Oliver Wyman.
