The issue has been discussed for several months.
According to RBC, citing its own sources, on April 5, Aeroflot sent one of its aircraft for repair to Iran for the first time.
“Last week, on April 5, an Airbus A330-300 wide-body airliner with registration number RA-73700 flew to Tehran, where the aircraft will be serviced by technicians from the largest Iranian carrier Mahan Air,” writes RBC.
It is noted that the aircraft needs to repair the landing gear. Previously, Aeroflot used the capacities of other companies for these purposes, in particular the Hong Kong-based HAECO.
