Moody’s downgrades Senegal to Caa1 amid rising debt concerns
Investing.com -- Russia’s civil aviation fleet could lose up to 339 airplanes and 200 helicopters by 2030, according to Dmitry Yadrov, head of the Rosaviatsiya aviation watchdog.
Speaking at a meeting of the Federation Council committee on economic policy, Yadrov outlined what he described as a worst-case scenario for the Russian aviation sector, as reported by Tass.
The projected decline includes the retirement of Russian aircraft that are 40, 50, and 60 years old, as well as 109 foreign aircraft. As of Monday, Russia’s modern air fleet across 76 airlines consisted of 1,135 aircraft.
Yadrov noted that the average age of the civil aircraft fleet among the 15 leading Russian airlines is currently about 14 years.
In what Yadrov termed a "pessimistic scenario," part of Russia’s Superjet fleet might also be withdrawn from service due to issues with the Russian-French SaM146 engines that power these aircraft.
