According to the facts, first hand was observed and verified through the journalist or informed and verified from competent sources.

According to reports, two Russian passenger airplanes have been forced to return to their initial airports due to engine failure after takeoff.

The Russian aviation Telegram channel Aviatorshchina reported that in recent days, a Ural Airlines plane returned to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, and that a Boeing 737 from NordStar Airlines had to return to Volgograd following mechanical issues.

Newsweek contacted the airlines, as well as Rosavisitsia, the federal firm of Russia for air transport, for observation email.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine prompted the U. S. and EU to impose sanctions on Russian planes, two-thirds of which were made through Boeing and Airbus. The measures, which come with a ban on aircraft maintenance and the source of new plans, continue to worsen Russia’s aircraft industry.

Ural Airlines said on January 3 that an engine had failed in its Airbus A321 Sharm el-Sheikh flying in Egypt in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg at an altitude of 13,000 feet.

The plane circled before returning to its departure airport on one engine and passengers were put on another plane that afternoon.

The images filmed aboard the plane were published through the 360. RU media and the plaque agents asked passengers “Possibly there would be several landing blows, they will remain in a safe position to new orders. “

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 Jan. 3: “Oral Airlines equipment checked to unhook a plane with a failed engine. “

Rosaviatsia, the Federal Air Transport Agency in Russia, tried to solve the challenge of maintaining passenger aircraft by allowing airlines to “cannibalize” their planes through the useful portions of replacement of safe airplanes to install them in others.

However, sanctions will continue taking a toll on Russian aviation with the country’s commercial fleet of over 1,000 before the start of the war in Ukraine, predicted to be less than half that number by 2026, according to analysis firm Oliver Wyman.

Meanwhile, the threat to the protection of passengers can increase, with the Russian newspaper Independiente Novaya Gazyeta informing that there were 208 aircraft incidents from year to November, which is less than a third party more than during the same time last year.

Even after the war ends, Western corporations would possibly hesitate to do business with Russia’s aviation industry because the country prohibits chartered Western planes from leaving Russia, necessarily expropriating the planes, Oliver Wyman said.
