Russia’s aviation sector is struggling to remain operational and solvent in the wake of Western sanctions prohibiting the export—to Russia—of authorized spare parts for Boeing and Airbus aircraft.
The sanctions were levied in response to Russia’s invasion of, and ongoing war with Ukraine. As the conflict enters its sixth month, operators such as flag carrier Aeroflot and its subsidiary, Rossiya are struggling to service their fleet of Western aircraft. Embraer President Michael Amalfitano says his company expects to deliver over one-hundred new airplanes in 2022. Amalfitano attributes the Brazilian airframer’s success, in part, to its products’ appeal to first-time jet buyers. Following record 2021 sales, Embraer now enjoys a book-to-bill of 2.1:1, according to Amalfitano, who states the backlog among all Embraer aircraft now extends to the third quarter of 2024. Pilot Shortage? Armed with current data demonstrating that the United States is producing more pilots than it did pre-COVID, leaders from ALPA are fanning out across Capitol Hill this week to meet with federal lawmakers to reiterate that the current first officer qualification standards have been a critical component
in our nation’s impressive airline safety record. In conjunction with ALPA’s annual Legislative Summit, pilot leaders are sharing with elected officials and their staff that, according to the FAA, nearly 8,000 newly certificated commercial pilots have been produced in the last 12 months. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
