Bogus Parts Could Indefinitely Ostracize Russian Air Transport
Russia's aviation regulator is facilitating the use of unapproved parts, compromising asset values and longer-term relations with the global industry.
The Sukhoi SSJ100 contains many components made by Western suppliers now prohibited from exporting parts to Russia. United Aircraft Corporation continues development of a "Russianized" SSJ using locally made components to counter the effects of the sanctions.

An influx of unapproved aircraft parts fitted to Western airliners in Russia seems set to further destabilize relations with the global air transport industry. Earlier this week, Kremlin-backed news agencies confirmed that the country's aviation safety regulator Rosaviatsiya has issued certificates to five Russian aerospace groups to develop parts for imported aircraft, including widely used Airbus and Boeing models.
