“ As part of optimizing the cost of owning aircraft (AC) and reducing the risk of stopping aircraft under the pressure of sanctions, 8 Boeing 737-800 aircraft were purchased from leasing companies. This made it possible to reduce the impact of volatility in the foreign exchange market and eliminate the risks of restricting operating activities on these aircraft, including allowing international transportation ,” the report says.

And here is another interesting point: Utair reported that due to sanctions, it lost access to software that provides control over the operation parameters of aviation equipment and allows you to save jet fuel. Because of this, she had to develop her own set of fuel-saving measures and recommendations.
